§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster for what reason the annual report for the year ended 31 March of the MANWEB area of the Electricity Consultative Council was not distributed until December.
§ Mr. MaudeThe area electricity consultative councils are under no statutory obligation to publish an annual report, although my Department encourages them to do so. I understand that a number of factors contributed to the delay in this case, including pressure of other work, printing delays, and the need for translation into Welsh.
