Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in what format reports from representatives of Her Majesty's Government who are members of the United Kingdom delegation to the World Trade Organisation are lodged. [61166]

Mr. Wilson

They take the form of letters, telegrams or telephone conversations to Government Departments with an interest in the particular issue.

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if the CVs of the representatives of Her Majesty's Government who are members of the United Kingdom delegation to the World Trade Organisation in Geneva are made public. [61163]

Mr. Wilson

Biographies of diplomatic staff appear in "The Diplomatic Service List" published annually by The Stationery Office. There are no rules on the provision of CVs to the public, this would be a matter for the individuals concerned.
