Question

Asked by

Lord Laird

To ask Her Majesty's Government what recourse they have if a body set up by an Act of Parliament exceeds its brief. [HL3544]

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
(Baroness Royall of Blaisdon)

There are a wide range of public bodies set up by Acts of Parliament. Any concerns about the actions or performance of a particular public body should be raised with the chairman of the body concerned and/or the relevant sponsor department.
