HC Deb 15 July 1996 vol 281 c363W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the DTI investigations which have been completed in the last three years and for which the report will not be published; and if he will make a statement. [37383]

Mr. Lang

In investigations leading to a report in respect of which there is a statutory provision allowing for publication that no reports have been completed in the last three years remain unpublished.

My Department undertakes a number of confidential investigations for which there is no provision for the report to be published.
