To ask the Prime Minister, pursuant to his answer of 26 June, Official Report, columns 445–46, if he will list all publications, published by Government Departments at public expense, which contain a collection of a Minister's speeches, in the format recently produced by the Department of Transport—"Transport, the Way Ahead". [32110]
[holding answer 5 July 1995]: "Transport: The Way Ahead" was published by the Secretary of State as a consultation document. It includes a series of six speeches by my right hon. Friend which address central issues of transport policy on which views are invited.
I am aware of two other recent departmental publications which include collections of ministerial speeches: "Progress through Partnership", published by the Department of Health in February 1995, includes four speeches by the Secretary of State for Health. "Purchasing for Health: A Framework for Action", published by the Department of Health in June 1993, includes three speeches by the right hon. Member for Peterborough (Dr. Mawhinney) as Minister of State together with one by the chief executive of the national health services.
