HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 c278W
Q22. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Prime Minister if he is aware that the Board of Trade Report on Cadco Developments Limited, published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office on 30th November at 3.30 p.m., was made available to the Press at least 24 hours earlier and that no copy was supplied to the hon. Member for West Fife, although he had been closely involved in this case for two years; and whether, in view of these facts, he will take steps to ensure that the rules governing the publication of Government Reports give at least as favourable consideration to any hon. Member concerned as to any section of the Press.

The Prime Minister

The normal and long-standing procedures were followed in this case.
