HC Deb 22 November 1990 vol 181 c177W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy (1) if any of Lord Cullen's report was not included in the two published volumes;

(2) why his departmental press office advised the press that the Cullen report was over 800 pages.

Mr. Wakeham

Lord Cullen's report, as received by me on 22 October, ran to over 900 pages in typescript. My departmental press office, when approached, advised the press prior to publication that the report was a "substantial" document. The report as printed by HMSO was proof-read by a team under the supervision of Lord Cullen himself. The printed version, as the hon. Member will be aware, is about 500 pages long.
