§ Mr. Skeetasked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will place the printing of the Vote and associated parliamentary papers directly under the control of the House to obviate sporadic disruption in deliveries.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerThe requirements for the parliamentary printing and the way these are met are matters for the Services Committee.
To meet the wide and exacting printing demands of Parliament requires a large industrial organisation comparable in size to the present Her Majesty's Stationery Office unit of 600 staff. But I am sure it is right to keep constantly under review the demands made upon the press, and the way in which these are met, and this I will continue to do.
