HC Deb 31 March 1999 vol 328 c688W
Ms Lawrence

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the Government intends to publish the remaining public service agreements and the measures which will be used to monitor their success. [80117]

Mr. Milburn

The Government are today publishing a White Paper (CM 4315) which is a supplement to "Public Services for the Future: Modernisation, Reform, Accountability" (CM 4181 published in December 1998). It includes PSAs for the Department of Social Security, Sure Start, the utility regulators (Offer/Ofgas, Oftel, and Ofwat), the Office of Fair Trading and the Charity Commission. PSAs for the Countryside Agency and the Northern Ireland Office will follow later in the year. I have today also published a booklet, "The Government's Measures of Success: Output Performance Analyses", which includes the measures the Government will be using to track progress against the PSA targets. Copies are available in the Vote Office.
