HC Deb 10 July 2001 vol 371 cc501-2W
Mr. Laws

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on his Department's assessment of the extent to which other Government Departments are performing in relation to the targets set out in their public service agreements. [3012]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Departments published performance against their 1998 public service agreement (PSA) targets in their departmental annual reports, so that people can judge for themselves how well they are doing. It is too early to make an assessment against Departments' 2000 PSAs.
