HC Deb 09 February 1994 vol 237 cc329-30W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the executive agencies which are responsible to his Department.

Mr. Lang

I am responsible for five executive agencies in the Scottish Office. These are:

  • Scottish Prison Service
  • Scottish Office Pensions Agency
  • Scottish Agricultural Science Agency
  • Historic Scotland
  • Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency

In addition, I am responsible for two independent departments which are also executive agencies. These are the Registers of Scotland and the Scottish Record Office.

I have announced that the student awards branch of the Scottish Office will become an executive agency from 5 April 1994. The fisheries research service and roads directorate of the Scottish Office and the Scottish Court Service, part of the Scottish Courts Administration, are currently under consideration for executive agency status.
