HC Deb 18 February 1983 vol 37 cc267-8W
Mr. Bowen Wells

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will consider the financial and staffing implications and means of distribution of the descriptive Overseas Development Administration annual report accepted in principle by him in sufficient time to permit the first publication to cover the year 1982–83.

Mr. Raison

We are now looking carefully at all the factors, including timing, that would be involved in publishing a descriptive annual report. We shall take full account in our consideration of the point made by my hon. Friend.
