Mr. Ingram

To ask the President of the Board of Trade on what date he received a copy of the KPMG report on his Department's industrial research establishments; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Heseltine

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Ribble Valley (Mr. Evans) on 4 May 1993,Official Report, column 4, when I undertook to report the conclusions of the KPMG report to the House. An initial report was received from KPMG in November 1993 and further work has been commissioned which I expect to be completed in the near future.
