§ Mr. Norman Fowlerasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will make a statement saying why he has rejected the advice of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration regarding vehicle licence refunds resulting from the admitted maladministration of his Department.
§ Mr. William RodgersI have not rejected it. As I explained to my hon. Friend the Member for Don Valley (Mr. Kelley) on 9th February—[Vol. 943; c.655]—I am studying the difficult issues it raises and will make a statement as soon as possible.
