Mr. Fisher

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet received the draft report of Lord Justice Scott. [23913]

Mr. Heseltine

No.

Sir Richard Scott has not yet finished his report. As the report is written, draft extracts are being circulated by the inquiry to a range of persons referred to in the report for comment.

Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken to ensure that Whitehall Departments co-operate fully with Lord Justice Scott to ensure the earliest possible publication of his inquiry report. [23911]

Mr. Heseltine

Officials are under instruction to co-operate fully with Sir Richard Scott's inquiry. As I told my hon. Friend the Member for Hazel Grove (Sir T. Arnold) on 11 July 1994,Official Report, column 387 , the timing of the report is a matter for Sir Richard Scott.
