HC Deb 30 March 1995 vol 257 cc717-8W
Mr. Nicholas Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what statutory references to hon. Members have been made in the legislation introduced by her Department, or its predecessors, since 1965. [17040]

Mr. Forth

It is extremely unlikely that the Education Acts contain any reference to an individual hon. Member. There are frequent statutory references to Parliament and to officers of state where functions are conferred upon them. Information on references to Parliament, individual hon. Members or officers of sate could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

References to the House of Commons, as opposed to references to Parliament or "either House of Parliament", are rare.
