HC Deb 12 April 1911 vol 24 c465
Mr. GOLDSTONE

asked the President of the Board of Education what procedure is followed to differentiate the memoranda issued by the Board, which merely summarise confidential discussions among members of the staff of the Board, from those memoranda which convey expressions of the Board's policy?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

They are differentiated, not by procedure, but by the terms in which they are expressed. Instructions, advice, or other similar expressions of policy are given in unmistakable terms and are not left to be gathered by inference.
