§ Mr. Nottasked the Minister for the Civil Service how many daily copies of the Morning Star are ordered for central Government Departments; and how many copies are placed regularly in the private offices of Ministers.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisDaily newspapers are ordered by Government Departments individually and no central records are, therefore, kept. However, I understand that it is the practice for central Government Departments to order copies of all daily newspapers, including theMorning Star, in quantities sufficient for their needs, and the private offices of Ministers will naturally have copies available to them.
