HC Deb 24 January 1996 vol 270 c250W
Mr. Callaghan

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how many libraries in the north-west region have been closed since 1987. [11055]

Mr. Sproat

This information is not held centrally. However, the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy's public library statistics, copies of which are held in the House Library, provide information about the total number of libraries in each library authority at the end of every financial year. These do not, however, record the opening or closure of library facilities.
