HC Deb 25 February 1985 vol 74 cc6-7W
Mr. Latham

asked the Prime Minister whether, for the convenience of hon. Members, she will request all Ministers who wish to reply to parliamentary questions by referring to a document deposited in the Library to attach a photostat of the relevant extract from the document to the individual copy of the reply which is sent to the hon. Member.

The Prime Minister

Ministers try to be as helpful as possible, and I hope that, where it is practicable, hon. Members will be provided with relevant extracts from documents in the Library which have been referred to in answers. But it would not be practicable to do this where the answer refers to a document that needs to be seen as a whole.
