HC Deb 27 April 1995 vol 258 cc642-3W
Dr. Wright

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security which of the advisory non-departmental public bodies sponsored by his Department are under statutory requirement to(a) publish their advice to the Government, (b) publish an annual report and (c) lay an annual report before Parliament; and if he will list those bodies with a statutory base. [21156]

Mr. Hague

The advisory non-departmental public bodies sponsored by this Department are listed in "Public Bodies 1994".

All of the bodies have a statutory basis, but none is under statutory requirement to publish advice or reports, although most such reports are published.
