§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he will publish guidelines on the conduct of members of non-departmental public bodies in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RedwoodI expect the highest standards in the conduct of public business in Wales. General guidance is available in "Non Departmental Public Bodies: A Guide for Departments". I have arranged for a copy to be placed in the Library of the House. The Welsh Office draws on this to provide members of executive non-departmental public bodies in Wales, on appointment, with guidelines
