§ Mr. LevittTo ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if he will make more readily available to the public a full list of current green and white papers together with the relevant timescales for consultation. [56161]
§ Mr. KilfoyleMost green and white papers are published as Command Papers, full details of which are included in the Daily List of Publications issued by The Stationery Office Limited and which is available in printed form and via their Internet Web Site at the following address: (http://www.national-publishing.co.uk./d_ listfr.html)
A complete list also appears on the UK Official Publications Bibliographic database (http://www.ukop/co.uk) which is published jointly by The Stationery Office Limited and Chadwyck-Healey Ltd.
Following publication of the Service First Unit's guidance How to conduct written consultation exercises, all consultation documents should also now be published in full on the Internet with information provided as to where responses should be sent and the deadline for these to be received. Officials from my Department are currently considering the practicality of creating a single entry point on the Internet which would provide an index and links to all Command Papers wherever they might appear on the Internet.
