Mr. Janner

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland, pursuant to his answer of 14 May, Official Report, column 3, who is carrying out the surveys referred to; when the results of those surveys are expected; and by whom they will be evaluated.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

As I said in my earlier answer to the hon. and learned Member on 26 April 1984, at columns 602–3, action in respect of ethnic monitoring in this Department will be considered when the results of the surveys carried out in the north-west and Avon have been evaluated.

Mr. Janner

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland, pursuant to his answer of 14 May, Official Report, column 3, whether the monitoring duties of the equal opportunities officer include the introduction and implementation of a monitoring exercise, as recommended by the code of the Commission for Racial Equality.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

The monitoring duties of the equal opportunities officer will be dependent on the results of the survey being carrid out in the north-west and Avon.
