HL Deb 28 October 1992 vol 539 c103WA
Lord Rippon of Hexham

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many Cabinet Committees there were in 1962, 1972, 1982, and now; and whether they plan to create any more.

Lord Wakeham

It would not be consistent with normal practice to give this information in respect of previous administrations. As regards the present Government, my right honourable friend the Prime Minister announced that there were 26 Ministerial Cabinet Committees on 18th May 1992 (Official Report. Commons 18/5/1992; col.110). The list of Ministerial Cabinet Committees will be updated from time to time.
