HC Deb 23 February 1993 vol 219 cc505-6W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many documents from Government Departments which have been asked for by the Scott inquiry have yet to be delivered.

Mr. Heseltine

The inquiry team has already received a great volume of documentation from Government Departments. It would be extremely difficult to quantify documents yet to be delivered since Departments are continuing to supply documents in response to ongoing requests from Lord Justice Scott.

Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet received from the Lord Justice Scott inquiry a timetable for oral evidence to the inquiry.

Mr. Heseltine

Lord Justice Scott has not yet announced dates for the taking of oral evidence. He has, however, made it clear that he wishes to report as soon as possible.
