HC Deb 14 April 1981 vol 3 c125W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how the studies of departmental organisation which he announced recently are being conducted; and when he expects to complete them.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

The studies of departmental organisation which I announced recently are being conducted by senior officials of the Departments concerned. I expect the reports of these studies to be completed soon and, as I told my hon. Friend the Member for Epping Forest (Mr. Biggs-Davison) in the House on 9 April, I hope to be able to make further proposals to the House during the summer.—[Vol. 2, c. 1106.]
