GOVERNMENT ACTUARY'S DEPARTMENT

HC Deb 21 June 1973 vol 858 c200W

Mr. Fowler

asked the Prime Minister which Minister has responsibility for the Government Actuary's Department.

The Prime Minister

The Government Actuary's department provides advice and assistance to a number of Government Departments and other public bodies on a wide variety of topics. In the past Treasury Ministers have had general responsibility for the department. It would now be more appropriate for this general responsibility to be exercised by the Minister for the Civil Service. This transfer of responsibility will take effect from 1st July.
