HC Deb 06 February 1995 vol 254 cc45-6W
Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the rules and regulations in his

Department which have been withdrawn in the last 12 months, or which his Department plans to withdraw in the next 12 months; and what impact this will have on his Department's manpower.

Mr. Ancram

A list of the statutory rules and regulations revoked in the 12-month period ending December 1994 has been placed in the Library.

Work is continuing to identify rules and regulations for withdrawal. Those for withdrawal in the next 12 months will be announced as and when consultations are completed.

The manpower implications are taken into account in the central manpower plans which will be published in the Northern Ireland expenditure plans and priorities in March.
