§ Mr. Bossomasked 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. JayIt 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.
