Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rural Payments Agency.


Rural Payments Agency

My Lords, I am in no position to answer the noble Countess. I have been at Defra since May and I have concentrated on the present and the future. I indicated in the Statement that there are four other groups looking at the past. We have released information under the Freedom of Information legislation, so I have had the benefit of seeing some of the RPA information sent to Ministers from last October to March of this year. I have not gone back. I have no doubt the EFRA Select Committee and the others will be looking at what the board member responsible for IT was doing in that period, but I do not have that information.
