§ 116. Mrs. Hartasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if the reconstituted Women's National Commission will have direct access to Ministers; and if it will be consulted formally by Ministers on all matters in the field of education, health, the social services and the environment where consultations with outside bodies are appropriate.
§ Mrs. ThatcherAccess to Ministers will be through the usual channels available to similar national organisations, and through the Ministerial co-chairman. There are no formal arrangements for consultation but I do not envisage any difficulty in making the views of the W.N.C. known to the relevant Departments.
