Mr. Austin-Walker

To ask the Prime Minister (1) if he will make a statement on the role of the ministerial sub-committee on London as a policy forum for discussions on the future of London; when the sub-committee has met; and what was its agenda;

(2) what plans he has to publish the proceedings and decisions of the ministerial sub-committee on London.

The Prime Minister

[holding answer 22 May 1992]: The terms of reference of the ministerial sub-committee on London, together with those of all other ministerial committees and sub-committees of the Cabinet, were given in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Harlow (Mr. Hayes) on 19 May at columns 110–18.

The Government will continue to make their decisions known to Parliament and the public. I do not, however, propose to give details on the topics discussed by individual committees, the timing of meetings or their proceedings.
