HC Deb 16 February 1999 vol 325 cc693-4W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will publish his Department's collation and assessment of responses to all the Government's public consultations. [69772]

Mr. Chris Smith

When the DCMS issues a public consultation paper it will, in line with central guidance issued by the Cabinet Office, either publish a summary of the views collected or make the results available on request (in each case subject to respecting confidentiality requested by those responding).
