HC Deb 03 June 1991 vol 192 c37W
45. Mr. Hind

To ask the Lord President of the Council if he will make a statement on the criteria for placing in the Library speeches made by Members of Parliament.

Mr. MacGregor

The texts of non-parliamentary ministerial speeches and of speeches by Opposition Front-Bench spokesmen are received and filed by the Library as a matter of course, where these are issued by Government Departments or by party headquarters. Texts of speeches by the Leader of the Opposition are normally received from his office in the House.

Non-parliamentary speeches by other Members are sometimes obtained on request for a Member, or in anticipation of demand by Members.
