HC Deb 29 June 1998 vol 315 cc73-4W
Mr. Allan

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list, for each of the last four years, all departmental inquiries and reviews instigated by ministers which have been chaired by individuals outside his Department; and in each case if he will give the date of establishment and the name of the chairman. [46828]

Dr. David Clark

The only committee of inquiry or review established within the last four years in the Office of Public Service and chaired by an individual outside my Department was (in the then Office of Public Service and Science) the Committee to Review the Contribution of Scientists and Engineers to the Public Understanding of Science, Engineering and Technology, established in January 1995 and chaired by Sir Arnold Wolfendale FRS.
