§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why copies of the Treasury's Economic Assessment published on 13th July were not available to hon. Members in the Library on publication.
§ Mr. CallaghanAs Members may be aware articles on the Economic Situation have been published in "Economic Trends" each month since January of this year. Recently the Treasury has made available to the Press in advance the introductory section in the form of a Press Notice issued in the middle of the month. Copies of the Press Notice published on 13th July were in fact supplied to the House of Commons Library the following day at the request of the librarian. However, in view of the wide interest in these articles I shall arrange in future for copies of the Press Notice to be placed in the Library at the time they are released.
