HC Deb 17 November 1969 vol 791 cc192-3W
35. Mr. David Howell

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what conclusions his Department has now reached in its study of Government activities suitable for hiving-off under separate responsibility.

Mr. Shore

Following the Fulton Report, the review has been placed in the context of accountable management and initially is being aimed mainly at commercial or quasi-commercial operations. The review is a continuing process; and the House will, of course, be informed of the results as conclusions are reached.
