HC Deb 07 February 1994 vol 237 cc92-3W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what consultations he has had with the chairman of the Health Promotion Authority for Wales concerning the enhancement of value for money to be achieved from overseas travel by its staff;

(2) what consultations he has had with the chairman of the Health Promotion Authority for Wales concerning the strengthening of financial controls, and improvement of assessment and monitoring of overseas travel claims;

(3) what consultations he has had with the chairman of the Health Promotion Authority for Wales concerning the resignation of its executive director with effect from 2 February 1994.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

These are matters for which the chairman and the board of the Health Promotion Authority for Wales have already given consideration. Overseas travel claims are currently being investigated by the district audit service at the request of the chairman and the board, following an internal inquiry, and the police have been informed by the chairman of the results of the investigation so far. The chairman and the board may wish to take into consideration any comments, the district audit service may offer following its investigation and I expect that they will continue to keep the Welsh Office fully informed.
