§ 82. Mr. Iremongerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what communication he has sent to the hon. Member for Ilford, North, following the failure to invite him to be present when a Minister from his Department made an official visit to the hon. Member's constituency on Friday, 19th March; and if he will give an assurance that the normal practice will be observed in future in such matters.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI wrote to my hon. Friend yesterday expressing my regret at this oversight, and my noble Friend Lord Sandford has done the same. My normal practice, and that of my colleagues, is to give hon. Members prior notice of all official visits to their constituencies, and we shall continue to do so.
