HC Deb 02 November 1993 vol 231 c185W
Dr. Wright

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish a table showing, for each of the executive non-departmental public bodies sponsored by his Department, whether the public have a statutory right to(a) attend all board or committee meetings, (b) inspect the minutes of meetings, (c)/ inspect the annual reports, (d) inspect the annual accounts and (e) inspect a register of members' interests.

Mr. Howard

None of the executive non-departmental public bodies for which the Home Office is responsible is required by statute to give the public rights of access in the manner specified in the hon. Member's question, though section 46 of the Race Relations Act 1976 requires the publication of the report and accounts of the Commission for Racial Equality. It is also the practice to publish the reports and accounts of the following executive non-departmental bodies for which the Home Office is responsible:

  • —The Office of the Data Protection Registrar
  • —Gaming Board of Great Britain
  • —Police Complaints Authority
  • —Horserace Totalisator Board
  • —Horserace Betting Levy Board
