HC Deb 08 March 1995 vol 256 c175W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what system of planning and management information systems is currently in place in his Department; and what documents pertaining to it are available to(a) hon. Members and (b) the public.

Mr. Dorrell

My Department prepares internal business and forward management plans, and the many bodies which my Department funds produce business and strategic plans, some of which are published. The DNH annual report, containing the Department's expenditure plans, is prepared each year as part of the series of departmental reports presented to Parliament. It is published and available to the public through HMSO bookshops.

Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what changes he is making to his Department's planning and management information systems in the light of the fundamental expenditure review of the Department and the recommendations of the multi-departmental efficiency scrutiny of such systems.

Mr. Dorrell

Neither of these reviews has yet reported. I will consider any action I wish to take when they do so.
