Mr. Burt

My predecessor, now the Secretary of State for Wales, met the Access Committee for England on 14 June 1995.

I and my colleagues in the Departments of the Environment and Health are considering the report of the working group which has been looking at the committee's future role and functions.

We will announce our decisions in due course.
