Public Service Agreements

HC Deb 19 April 2002 vol 383 cc1211-2W

Mr. Bercow

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will list the public service agreement targets which have been revised and those which have been introduced since the publication of the 2001 departmental report. [43260]

Mr. Wills

The 2001 departmental report provides details of progress against Public Service Agreement targets developed under the Comprehensive Spending Review 1998 and lists the published Public Service Agreement targets for Spending Review 2000. From 1 April 2001 the Spending Review 2000 Public Service Agreement, which covers the work of the Lord Chancellor's Department until March 2004, replaced the Comprehensive Spending Review targets.

Since the publication of the 2001 departmental report, no further Public Service Agreement targets have been introduced. In the first year of Spending Review 2000, one Public Service Agreement target has been updated (WA 349, 8 May 2001).
