HC Deb 12 February 2002 vol 380 c155W
Mr. George Howarth

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what reporting procedures exist between the Public Guardianship Office and her own. [33289]

Ms Rosie Winterton

The Public Guardianship Office is part of the Lord Chancellor's Department. He receives regular reports on the operational performance of the Public Guardianship Office (PGO), from the chief executive and is consulted by the chief executive on the handling of operational matters, which could give rise to substantial public, parliamentary or judicial concern. The Head of Policy Group serves as a focal point to provide.
