HC Deb 23 July 1999 vol 335 cc688-9W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will publish, before the summer adjournment, the most recent draft concordat between his Department and the National Assembly for Wales. [92332]

Mr. Mudie

Work on the concordat is proceeding well. We hope to be in a position to put a draft concordat to the First Secretary of the National Assembly for Wales shortly. We do not intend to publish the concordat in advance of that.
