Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

In the North/South Ministerial Council's decision of 19 May concerning salaries of the Language Implementation Body, why the decision paper entitled General Round Pay Increases for Staff for An Foras Teanga refers in paragraph 2 to the Department of Community, Arts and Leisure; when this department was created; and who is the responsible Minister. [HL3214]

The Lord President of the Council (Lord Williams of Mostyn)

The decision paper IP LAN 5 in the background note, paragraph 2, referred to "the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Community, Arts and Leisure". The reference should have read "the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure".
