HC Deb 15 July 1976 vol 915 c244W
Sir Frederic Bennett

asked the Lord President of the Council when the Official Report of Friday 2nd July will be published and distributed to Members; what has been the cause of the delay; and what steps he is taking to prevent any recurrence of non-publication of proceedings of the House.

Mr. Foot

I regret that I am unable to state when theOfficial Report of Friday 2nd July will be published but it will be printed as soon as production can be phased in with the printing of other essential parliamentary work. Copies in an alternative form are available in the Vote Office. Publication of this report was delayed because of production difficulties caused when a non-craft union placed an embargo on using one machine. The issue has not been completely settled but discussions are taking place to resolve the problem.
