§ Mr. Colman
To ask the President of the Council if she will make a statement on the progress on the award of charter status to the Institute of Management. [149112]

§ Mrs. Beckett
Officials from my Department have had two meetings with representatives of the Institute of Management. The Institute's application for a Royal Charter is currently being considered by the Privy Council's advisers-those Government Departments with an interest, which are responsible for advising their Ministers in their role as members of the Privy Council. The procedure for the grant of a Royal Charter is explained in my Department's website-;www.privy-council.org.uk.
