To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list each group that is responsible to his Department, with significant and plural membership from outside the Civil Service, and to which the Nolan rules on non-departmental public bodies do not apply and for each such group, if it(a) is a company limited by guarantee, (b) is a charity, (c) has no formal legal basis, and (d) has some other legal basis giving details.

Mr. Mandelson

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office, on 27 July 2000,Official Report, column 799W.

None of the bodies responsible to the Northern Ireland Office has a separate legal identity in their own right and therefore come within (c).
