HC Deb 17 May 1965 vol 712 cc170-1W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make sure that as far as is practicable all Her Majesty's Stationery Office publications have indexes.

Mr. MacDermot

Her Majesty's Stationery Office do, whenever practicable, include indexes in the more substantial and important Government publications. But there are many hundreds of publications each year in pamphlet or booklet form where it would be unnecessary and wasteful.

If the hon. Member will let me know of any publications which he considers should have been provided with an index I shall be glad to look into the matter.
