HC Deb 17 January 2000 vol 342 c354W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what bodies his Department has consulted on each of its programmes since May 1997. [105243]

Miss Melanie Johnson

The Chancellor's departments consult widely on proposals across the diverse range of policies for which they are responsible. There is no central record of consultees, and one could be assembled only at disproportionate expense.
