HC Deb 23 January 1991 vol 184 cc221-2W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Lord President of the Council when the Privy Council last met; and what topics were discussed.

Mr. MacGregor

The last meeting of the Privy Council was on 19 December 1990. It is not the practice to disclose the proceedings at such meetings.

Mr. Allen

To ask the Lord Presidnet of the Council if he will list the current Privy Councillors.

Mr. MacGregor

An alphabetical list of Privy Councillors is published annually in "Whitaker's Almanack" and a list by precedence is published quarterly inVacher's Parliamentary Companion. The list shown in the November 1990 edition of the latter shows all current Privy Councillors with the exception of Mr. Richard Ryder. The formalities for the appointment to the Privy Council of Mr. Alan Clark and Mrs. Angela Rumbold announced in the new year honours list will take place next month.
