HC Deb 24 February 1989 vol 147 c852W
2. Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to whom in the United Kingdom he makes available his Department's background briefs.

Mr. Waldegrave

FCO background briefs are produced for use overseas. However, a small number are distributed in the United Kingdom, principally to members of both Houses of Parliament, journalists, academics, specialists in certain areas, certain institutions and libraries.

Members of the general public may obtain copies through their local public library from the British library lending division.
