HC Deb 19 April 1993 vol 223 c29W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if references were taken up from the Falkland Islands Government before the new general manager of the St. Helena Development Agency was appointed.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The general manager-designate of the proposed development agency is an employee of the consultants, Pieda plc, who were appointed by the Overseas Development Administration to help set up the agency. Any question of references would have been for them. The general manager had previously worked in the Falkland Islands, but was not employed by the Falkland Islands Government.
