§ Mr. MeacherTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many times in the last 10 years, and on which dates, his departmental accounting officer has issued a minute in that role; and what was the issue in each case.
§ Mr. NorrisIn my reply of 1 March 1994,Official Report, column 659 to the hon. Member for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney (Mr. Rowlands), I stated that Department records showed that since 1979 there had been no cases where such an instruction had been issued. This is still the case.
