HC Deb 09 May 1995 vol 259 c409W
Mr. Meacher

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many times in the last 10 years, and on which dates, her departmental accounting officer has issued a minute in that role; and what was the issue in each case. [22555]

Mr. Sackville

Available records show no cases in the last 10 years in which the accounting officer has requested a written instruction from a Minister because the Minister has overruled the accounting officer's advice on an issue of propriety, regularity or value for money.
