§ 32. Mr. Peter M. Jacksonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what grounds Stationery Office publications are excluded from the arrangements under which hon. Members may order on a green demand form non-Parliamentary publications required for the discharge of their Parliamentary duties; and whether he is satisfied with the manner in which this policy is implemented.
§ Mr. TaverneStationery Office publications in the categories noted at the head of the green form, namely historical, technical and scientific works and similar classes, such as reference books, guides and catalogues are excluded from the supply arrangements for reasons of economy.
I am satisfied that in interpreting the rules the Stationery Office strikes a fair balance between the need for economy and the convenience of Members.
