HC Deb 03 June 1997 vol 295 c164W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to alter the structure of the Government Offices for the regions. [1813]

Mr. Caborn

My right hon. Friends the President of the Board of Trade and the Secretary of State for Education and Employment share with this Department responsibility for the Government Offices in the English regions. The network of Offices has an important part to play in advancing and implementing our policies, and we have no plans to change its structure.
