§ Mr. Loveridgeasked the Minister for the Civil Service if she will publish in the Official Report the present position on the eleventh report from the Expenditure Committee, Session 1976–77, on the Civil Service by tabulating which of the 54 recommendations as set out in the report and commented on in the Government observations in Cmnd. 7117 (a) have been implemented in full, (b) have been implemented in part, (c) have not been accepted by the Government and (d) are still under consideration.
§ Mr. HayhoeThe eleventh report from the Expenditure Committee, Session 1976–77, made a wide range of recommendations concerning the management of the Civil Service and relations between Parliament and Government. The report of the Committee has certainly had an effect on developments in these areas since 1977. In the course of such developments, however, the issues have evolved and widened and it is not possible directly to relate the Committee's recommendations to current policy and practice. It would, therefore, be somewhat misleading to attempt to classify specific recommendations in the manner requested. However, if my hon. Friend has any particular recommendations in mind, perhaps he would let me know.
