HL Deb 25 May 2004 vol 661 c117WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have to modify the decision-making process surrounding the budget and business cases for the Language Implementation Body, including consultation with the two agencies concerned.[HL2484]

The Lord President of the Council (Baroness Amos)

There are no plans to change the decision-making process. However, the operational arrangements of the process to be followed by each of the relevant parties are reviewed on an annual basis. Consultation with the two agencies is ongoing and will be as often as is required to reach agreement on business plan and budget for each agency.
