HC Deb 04 November 1997 vol 300 cc184-5W
Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his policy on the purchase of tax avoidance advice by the NHS; what directives he has issued on the purchase of tax avoidance advice by the NHS; and if he will make a statement. [13237]

Mr. Milburn

Last month we agreed that an Executive Letter should be sent to all National Health Service bodies setting out the Government's policy on this. This will be issued shortly.
