HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 cc878-9
36. Mr. Berry

asked the Lord Privy Seal why the first Report on Public Schools was not available to Members of Parliament in the Vote Office on the day of publication.

Mr. Peart

I would refer the hon. Member to the Written Answer given by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science to the right hon. Member for Kingston-upon-Thames (Mr. Boyd-Carpenter) on 14th October.—[Vol. 770, c. 46.]

Mr. Berry

Does not the Minister agree that, where it is necessary to use a green form, hon. Members, having filled one in, should receive a Report on the day of issue and not subsequently?

Mr. Peart

I hope that the hon. Gentleman has read the reply of the Secretary of State on the Newsom Report. I need not repeat the answer; I thought it was reasonable. He said that he would try to avoid any difficulty.
