§ Mr. FoulkesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list all areas within(a) his Department, (b) agencies under his Department's control and (c) organisations for which he has ministerial responsibility to which Crown immunity applies; what 81W consideration he has given to removing this; and if he will make a statement. [28655]
§ Mr. Jack[holding answer 15 June 1995]: The Government's policy on Crown immunity as set out in CM 1599—"The Citizen's Charter—Raising the Standard" is that Crown immunity is being progressively reduced, as legislative opportunities arise. In the meantime, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, its agencies and the non-departmental public bodies for which it has responsibility, behave as though bound by regulations.
