HC Deb 10 November 1999 vol 337 c543W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Prime Minister what proposals he has for the parliamentary scrutiny of the Social Exclusion Unit. [96788]

The Prime Minister

The Social Exclusion Unit reports to me, and questions on its remit, resourcing and way of working are addressed to me. Each of the reports produced by the Unit has an action plan and timetable, which identifies a lead Department and Minister responsible for overseeing cross Whitehall implementation. That Minister is accountable to Parliament for the success of the implementation of an individual report.
