HC Deb 03 February 1998 vol 305 c581W
Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Prime Minister, pursuant to his answer of 26 January 1998, Official Report, column 67, relating to the letter sent to him by Mr. Graham Horwood of 66 St. Andrews Road, Shoeburyness, on 17 August 1997, when the letter was forwarded to the Minister for Science, Energy and Industry; and when a reply was sent by that Minister to Mr. Horwood. [26509]

The Prime Minister

[holding answer 2 February 1998]: The letter was inadvertently forwarded to the Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions before being passed to the Department of Trade and Industry for reply at official level. Unfortunately, there is no record of receipt of this letter, but action was initiated on receipt of Mr. Horwood's later letter and I understand a response has been sent.
