§ Mr. Ancramasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether any steps are being taken to ameliorate the present delays in the publication of written answers.
§ Mr. St. John-StevasTheOfficial Report has now arranged to provide to the Vote Office on the morning after written answers are delivered a Supplement in the form of a proof copy of all answers not included in the current Daily Part. The Supplement will include answers received by the Official Report by 5 pm the day before publication—12.30 on Fridays. Answers appearing in the Supplement and all outstanding answers will thereafter be published in succeeding Daily Parts.
It is hoped that the provision of this extra material will go some way towards making good the present shortcomings in the availability of the Official Report.
