HC Deb 22 March 1996 vol 274 c358W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 19 March 1996,Official Report, column 171, what were the principal factors underlying the move in 1994 to a March date for publication of the annual departmental report and the move to an end of March date in 1996. [22421]

Mr. Hague

Departmental reports for all Departments are published in the fortnight before presentation of the Supply estimates. In 1994, the Supply estimates were presented on 23 March. This year, the Supply estimates are to be presented on 26 March. The specific date within the fortnight chosen for publication of my departmental report is dependent upon preparation and printing schedules.
