HL Deb 23 November 1995 vol 567 c14WA
Lord Elton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are considering the establishment of the Police Scientific Development Branch as an executive agency.

Baroness Blatch:

My right honourable friend has decided that the Police Scientific Development Branch should be considered as a candidate for Executive Agency status under the Next Steps initiative. A "prior options" study will be undertaken to establish whether Agency status or some other option is the most appropriate. My right honourable friend would welcome comments from interested parties. Comments should be sent by 2 February 1996 to:

  • The Assistant Under Secretary of State
  • Home Office (Room 527)
  • Horseferry House
  • Dean Ryle Street
  • London SW1P 2A W
