Monopolies and Mergers Commission

HC Deb 11 July 1996 vol 281 cc284-5W

Mr. Colvin

To ask the President of the Board of Trade when financial statements for the Monopolies and Mergers Commission will be published. [37310]

Mr. Lang

Today I have placed in the Libraries of both Houses sets of the MMC's financial statements for the last financial year. The accounts which have been reviewed by the National Audit Office are the first to have been published since the basis for funding the commission was changed from grant to grant-in-aid. It is expected that the first set of audited accounts will be for 1996–97.
