§ Mr. RedwoodTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what instructions she has given on the information which she wishes to be drawn to her attention(a) in red boxes and (b) otherwise; and if she will indicate when and how these instructions have been modified. [42587]
§ Mrs. Beckett[holding answer 18 May 1998]: I expect information to be drawn to my attention by my Private Office, according to its urgency and importance. The only instructions I have given on handling such information are that I prefer to deal with papers as and when possible throughout the day, rather than having them put aside to go in red boxes if this is unnecessary. These instructions are unchanged.
