HC Deb 19 January 1984 vol 52 c287W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he intends to appoint a successor to Sir John Grugeon as director of the Merseyside International Garden Festival.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

The arrangements for the International Garden Festival, including the staffing and organisational aspects, are the responsibility of the Merseyside Development Corporation. When Sir John Grugeon resigned early last year the corporation's chief executive took over the responsibilities of the festival director.

Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment on what terms Sir John Grugeon relinquished his directorship of the Merseyside International Garden Festival.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I shall answer this question shortly.
