HC Deb 05 July 1962 vol 662 cc82-3W
Mr. Wyatt

asked the Prime Minister how many Commissions and Committees have been set up by Her Majesty's Government since October, 1951; what were the objects of each; to what extent the recommendations of each have been implemented; what plans Her Majesty's Government have either to implement or finally to reject the recommendations of each; which are these recommendations, respectively; for how long each such Commission and Committee sat; what was the average number of members of such Commissions and Committees and the average length of time between inauguration and reporting; and how many such Commissions and Committees have still to make their reports.

The Prime Minister

To give the information which the hon. Gentleman asks for would clearly be a very large research undertaking, since it covers every Commission and Committee of Inquiry over the last 11 years and asks for every single one of their recommendations to be reprinted together with the action taken on them. I fear that I cannot ask for this work to be undertaken. If, however, there is any specific question in which the hon. Gentleman is interested, perhaps he would let me know.
