National Audit Office Report On The Merseyside Development Corporation
EDM number 1019 in 1993-94, proposed by Peter Kilfoyle on 14/04/1994.
That this House applauds the National Audit Office report on the mismanagement of the Grand Regatta Columbus and the Fanfare for a New World Concert by the Merseyside Development Corporation; demands that the full claims of creditors who were contracted for this event, with the approval of the Merseyside Development Corporation, be met; deplores the use by the Department of the Environment of the 1968 Treasury Undertaking convention, as amended in 1990, to censor comment; notes that, unlike elected councillors, appointees to quangos like the Merseyside Development Corporation are not personally liable for such waste and maladministration; and therefore calls for the dismissal of the Chairman and Chief Executive of that organisation.
This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
