Lord Kilmany

to ask Her Majesty's Government:

What further steps they intend to take to ensure that the Political Honours Scrutiny Committee is furnished with the fullest information; and when was this matter last reviewed.

The Lord President of the Council (Lord Soames)

None. Under their terms of reference, the Committee are free to make such inquiries as they see fit about the past history and general character of those whose names are submitted to it; and the sort of information which they require in pursuing their inquiries is kept under review.
