§ Mr. HowardI am accountable for four executive agencies—HM Prison Service, the Forensic Science Service, the UK Passport Agency and the Fire Service College—and for some 38 non-departmental bodies which are listed in "Public Bodies 1994", which is available in the Library.
Information on spending on advertising and other promotional materials and activities by each agency and non-departmental public body for which I am responsible is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
