Conclusions and Recommendations
1. We
again urge the Department, if necessary by direction from the
highest level, to ensure that the Committee has appropriate information
supplied at the earliest possible time. It would be unfortunate
if the Committee found it necessary to terminate the long established
procedure of giving similar advance notice of its work to the
Department. (Paragraph 14)
2. We recommend that
the Department puts in place procedures to inform us in advance
of all major appointments pending and/or made, in line with the
recommendation of the Liaison Committee. (Paragraph 16)
3. We are disappointed
with the continuing delay to the draft Corporate Manslaughter
Bill and we look forward to an early presentation of it. (Paragraph
20)
4. We hope that future
DWP responses to our Reports will aim to fully engage with our
recommendations. (Paragraph 29)
