HL Deb 21 May 1998 vol 589 c194WA
Lord Hughes of Woodside

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish a revised framework document for the Planning Inspectorate Executive Agency. [HL2037]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Baroness Hayman)

We have today arranged for copies of the Planning Inspectorate's revised framework document to be published and for copies to be placed in the Library.

It is part of the usual arrangements for Next Steps Agencies to review their operation and revise their framework document every three to five years. The revised framework document will set out the relationship between the Planning Inspectorate Executive Agency and its parent departments (the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions and the Welsh Office).
