Non-departmental Public Bodies

HC Deb 12 July 1984 vol 63 cc637-8W

Sir Philip Holland

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will list in the Official Report the non-departmental public bodies for which he is responsible and which have been abolished, or whose abolition has been announced, since the publication of "Public Bodies 1983";

(2) if he will list in the Official Report the non-departmental public bodies for which he is responsible that have been introduced or announced too late to be included in the list published in "Public Bodies 1983."

Mr. Brittan

The joint committee for refugees from Vietnam and one new town licensed premises committee have been wound up and the Greater London Council (General Provisions) Bill contains provisions for the abolition of the licensing planning committee for the Metropolis.

The Data Protection Bill provides for the establishment of a data protection tribunal and the Cable and Broadcasting Bill provides for the establishment of a cable authority and a satellite broadcasting board.
