HC Deb 17 December 1997 vol 303 cc174-5W
Mr. Redwood

To ask the President of the Board of Trade who are the trustees of her blind trust for research expenses; and if she will publish its trust deed. [20892]

Mrs. Beckett

[holding answer 15 December 1997]: The structure of the blind trust which is used to pay the salary of a member of staff in my parliamentary office was discussed in advance with the relevant House of Commons authorities, who confirmed that it was in full conformity with the rules. I have declared in the register of member's interests the information required about the trust and I have nothing further to add.
