HC Deb 24 June 1996 vol 280 c43W
25. Mr. Miller

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister when he last met the head of the home civil service to discuss the implementation of the code of practice for appointments to public bodies. [32632]

Mr. Freeman

The code of practice for public appointments procedures has been drawn up by the independent Commissioner for Public Appointments. Its implementation is a matter for discussion between the Commissioner himself and those Government Departments sponsoring public bodies within his remit.
