HC Deb 09 November 1998 vol 319 c47W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to require all task forces and equivalent bodies sponsored by his Department to publish their working papers and minutes on the Internet. [58770]

Mr. Straw

Task forces and other equivalent bodies that are sponsored by my Department, even when independent from it, are encouraged to publish their reports and other documents through the Home Office's internet web site. The Youth Justice Task Force and the Community Fire Safety Task Force have already done so and arrangements are being made for others to do so.
