HC Deb 18 December 1975 vol 902 c725W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will make available to Members' secretaries the new photocopying machines on the Interview Floor; and, if not, why not.

Mr. Edward Short

No. The new photocopying machines have been installed only to provide temporary copies of essential papers so that the business of the House can proceed if normal deliveries are not available in time. Their use on a routine basis would create intolerable conditions for those Members and their secretaries who work on the Interview Floor.
