HC Deb 16 January 1984 vol 52 cc5-6W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Prime Minister whether she will seek all-party agreement to the publication of the reports of programmes analysis reviews and other efficiency reviews as soon as agreement can be reached on the publication of any one review and in any case not later than five years after the reviews are submitted.

The Prime Minister

It is already our practice to make available as much information as possible, and we will continue to release reports of efficiency and other reviews when it is appropriate and in the general interest to do so.

The system of programme analysis and review was formally discontinued in 1979.
