asked the Secretary of State for Trade what proposals he has for reviewing the relevance, composition, terms of reference and accountability to Parliament of the official bodies to which he appoints members other than civil servants.

At the request of my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister, I am undertaking an urgent review of all the public bodies within my Department's field of responsibility. The composition, terms of reference and relationships between such bodies and Government and Parliament are reviewed as necessary.
