§ Mr. Sheldonasked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will undertake to make an annual report to Parliament on the progress made in implementing the Fulton proposals.
§ Mr. George ThomsonI have been asked to reply.
The Civil Service Department will pro duce annual reports, covering the full range of the Department's activities, including progress on the Fulton proposals. Apart from this, the House will be kept informed of decisions on Fulton proposals from time to time by announcements and reports as appropriate. As my right hon. Friend told the House on 13th March, a progress report has just been issued by the Civil Service National Whitley Council, copies of which are available in the Vote Office.
