Non-Government Organisations (Hansard, 22 July 1983)

HC Deb 22 July 1983 vol 46 c242W 242W

§ Mr. Pawsey
asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will move to include non-Government organisations which receive public funds from Departments within the terms of Standing Order No. 99(1).

§ Mr. Biffen
No. It would be inappropriate to include within the terms of reference of Departmental Select Committees non-governmental organisations for which Ministers are not answerable to Parliament.
