HC Deb 29 June 1992 vol 210 c398W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) for what reason the ministerial title of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State is being changed to Parliamentary Secretary; and if he will make a statement;

(2) what assessment he has made of the impact on departmental efficiency of one of his departmental Ministers carrying a different title of Parliamentary Secretary for internal correspondence, while continuing to be Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for dealings with the public.

Mr. David Hunt

How, for clarity and euphony, Ministers wish to be referred to within Departments is a matter for them. Efficiency will at worst be unaffected and may be marginally improved.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the cost of the change of title of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State to Parliamentary Secretary.

Mr. David Hunt

The cost of promulgating the decision was around £2.28.
