HC Deb 12 March 1998 vol 308 c274W
Ms Roseanna Cunningham

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list the bodies within the responsibility of his Department currently required by legislation to lay a report before Parliament. [33550]

Mr. Kilfoyle

[holding answer 9 March 1998]: The bodies that fall within the responsibility of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster's Department (the Office of Public Service) and which are required to lay a report before Parliament are:

  • The Civil Service College
  • Security Facilities Executive
  • The Buying Agency.

The Central Office of Information is an executive agency and a separate Department within the responsibility of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. It is also required to lay a report before Parliament.

All are covered by Treasury Accounts Directions and are therefore required by legislation to have their annual reports and accounts laid before Parliament.
