HC Deb 13 November 1973 vol 864 c73W
Q6. Mr. Ashley

asked the Prime Minister if he is satisfied with the length of investigating time that official committees take before publishing their reports.

The Prime Minister

The period of time is bound to vary according to the nature and complexity of the subject. In some recent instances I have set a target date for the report. For example, I have asked the Committee on Local Government Rules of Conduct set up last month to report by next April.
