HC Deb 04 August 1975 vol 897 c27W
Mr. Tom King

asked the Minister for the Civil Service on what occasions the Government have not accepted the findings of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration in respect of criticism of Ministers.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

While there have been a number of occasions on which the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration has found maladministration in relation to the actions of Government Departments, there has been none on which he has singled out Ministers personally for criticism. The question of the Government's attitude to such criticisms has not, therefore, arisen.
