§ Mr. Campbell-SavoursTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) what consideration underlay the decision not to publish after 1989 an annual report on the acceptance of outside appointments by Crown servants as promised in the "Statistical Report 1980";
(2) when he next intends to publish a statistical report of acceptance of outside appointments by Crown servants.
Mr. Robert G. HughesStatistics on the acceptance of outside appointments by the Crown servants have been published in various forms over recent years, including in the statistical reports published periodically by the Cabinet Office since 1986. Since the last formal report, covering the period ending 31 December 1989, comprehensive statistics have been supplied by the Cabinet Office for publication in the fourth report of the Treasury and Civil Service Select Committee, Session 1990–91; in the minutes of evidence taken before the Treasury and Civil Service Sub-Committee on the role of the civil service on 23 November 1993; and in answer to various questions from hon. Members, most recently in answer to a question from the hon. Member for Darlington (Mr. Milburn) on 20 April 1994,Official Report, columns 577–80. I intend to publish a further formal statistical report in 1995.
