HC Deb 08 December 1980 vol 995 c228W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list those reports from Royal Commissions, official departmental committees or from ad hoc advisory groups established by his Department which have been published during the past 10 years by his Department—either totally or jointly with other Departments—and which have yet to be debated in the House.

Mr. Mayhew

The number of reports falling into these categories and published during the last 10 years are too numerous to list in theOfficial Report, and I shall be writing to the hon. Member to provide him with the information. Whether each of these many reports has been debated in the House could not be ascertained without incurring disproportionate cost.
