HC Deb 15 June 1951 vol 488 c220W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will have placed in the Library a complete file, in one folder if possible, of all the Orders issued by the various Government Departments since 1st January, 1951.

Mr. Jay

It is not practicable to place in the Library a complete file of all Orders issued by Government Departments. By virtue of the Regulations made under the Statutory Instruments Act, 1946, a large number of instruments mainly those of a local nature, are not printed. I am informed that the Stationery Office provides the Library with copies of all printed Statutory Instruments, as and when they are issued; and that these are then placed in a file in the Library. The Stationery Office also provide the Vote Office with 50 copies, in the case of more important instruments 100 copies, of all printed instruments.
