HC Deb 09 February 1989 vol 146 c752W 752W

§ Mr. Gerald Howarth
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on his plans for the Central Office of Information.

§ Mr. Lawson
I have considered whether the Central Office of Information should become a next steps agency, and have concluded that it should. The aim will be to give it agency status by April 1990.
