§ Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the publications available from the British Information Service concerning the Northern Ireland 467W situation; and in what language these publications are written.
§ Mr. AmeryThe provision of publications is only a small part of the overseas information effort, which, on Northern Ireland as on other topics, uses all media including television, cinema, radio and the Press as well as personal contacts and briefings by information and other diplomatic officers.

Most recent issues have contained an article on Northern Ireland).All official legislation and proposals, Commission reports, etc., are issued as Command Papers and Stationery Office publications.

Ulster Yearbook 1972"; "Facts at your Fingertips" (booklet); "Ulster Commentary" (a monthly periodical); "Bloody Friday"; and "Death of a Village" (broadsheets).
