asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many separate items of subordinate legislation affecting Wales were created in each parliamentary session since 1979; of these, how many were made by his Department, and how many were made jointly with other departments; and if he will list the items, indicating those which were debated on the Floor of the House or in Committee.

[pursuant to the reply, 9 February 1987, c. 91.]: The annual HMSO publication "Lists of Statutory Instruments" contains a list of the general and local statutory instruments (both printed and unprinted) registered in that year arranged under subject headings. Copies are available in the Library of the House. To provide information in the form and detail requested by the hon. Gentleman could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
