HC Deb 18 November 1976 vol 919 c685W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what is the classification of circulars issued by each Department of State and the reasons for non-availability to the public in any particular case.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

Responsibility for the level of classification of circulars issued by a Department of State rests with the Minister in charge of that Department. The decision as to whether a particular circular is made available to the public is also the responsibility of the Minister concerned. No central record is maintained.
