HC Deb 14 October 1968 vol 770 c46W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he did not make copies of the Newsom Committee's Report on the Public Schools available in the Vote Office to hon. Members.

Mr. Edward Short

The First Report of the Public Schools Commission was issued as a non-Parliamentary publication. As these publications can be obtained by the green slip procedure it has not been my Department's practice to place copies in the Vote Office.

Because of the inconvenience experienced by some hon. Members in obtaining copies of this report arrangements have been made with the Vote Office that will avoid this difficulty in future.
