HL Deb 16 July 1998 vol 592 cc52-3WA
The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Jay of Paddington on 6 July (WA 108), in what form the initial request by the Department of Health's Food Incident Control Team to the department's lawyers for a draft of the Emergency Control Order was made; and, if the request was in writing, whether they will place a copy of the minute or written request in the Library of the House, together with a copy of the notes of the meetings of the Food Incident Control Team held on 15 and 19 May. [HL2651]

Baroness Jay of Paddington

Our request to lawyers was verbal. It is not our normal practice to publish notes of internal meetings.
