HC Deb 14 June 1999 vol 333 c17W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Prime Minister what the criteria will be for recommending the appointment of Ministers in the devolved administrations to the Privy Council; and if he will make a statement. [86648]

The Prime Minister

Appointments to the Privy Council will continue to be made in order to ensure that the Queen is suitably and properly advised on all matters which come before her in Council. In future, I expect this to include members of devolved administrations.
