HC Deb 09 July 1981 vol 8 cc200-1W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Paymaster General how many requests he has had from right hon. and hon. Members for information about the European Economic Community over the past three months; and how many of these requests he has been able to meet.

Mr. Pym

I have received a number of requests from right hon. and hon. Members on various aspects of Government policy. These are normally transferred to the Department responsible. Detailed records are not kept centrally. I am not aware that any request has remained unanswered

Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Paymaster General if he will outline the range of information on the European Economic Community which is available from his office to right hon. and hon. Members.

Mr. Pym

Government Departments maintain a wide range of information on aspects of the Community within their responsibilities and respond to specific inquiries from right hon. and hon. Members. My office has a co-ordinating role.
