§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many officials in the Department serve on EU committees or working parties. [116080]
§ Mr. BoatengWe do not keep central records of officials serving on EU committees or working parties. Departmental officials serve on EU committees and working parties as the business need requires. We have set out in previous Written Answers, for example on 10 June 2002, 18 June 2002, 28 April 2003 and 30 April 2003, the number of officials representing the Department on specific EU bodies about which details have previously been requested.
