HC Deb 17 January 1977 vol 924 c76W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what were the precise arrangements under which his Department had distribution rights over the Institute For the Study of Conflict's publication "Counter Insurgency Studies" of March 1973; to which other ISC publications these arrangements applied; and whether there is any case in which this or any similar arrangement still applies.

Mr. Luard

In 1972 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office purchased for a nominal research fee of £500 the rights of some draft reports of an expert study group convened by the Institute for the Study of Conflict. These reports were adapted into material for official use by Foreign and Commonwealth Office posts overseas in 1973. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has not purchased the rights of any other Institute material.
