HC Deb 14 April 1986 vol 95 cc297-8W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Prime Minister when she expects to receive the report of the committee chaired by Sir Robert Armstrong and Sir Peter Middleton on duties of civil servants.

The Prime Minister

There is no such committee. This subject is one of a number of longer-term issues under discussion between representatives of the Cabinet Office and the Treasury and representatives of the Council of Civil Service Unions. I cannot predict a date for the outcome of these discussions, on which the report of the Select Committee on the Treasury and Civil Service, which has also been considering these matters, will no doubt have a bearing.
