§ Mr. Lawsonasked the Minister for the Civil Service what plans he has to ensure 259W the rapid publication of the Official Report for April 12th to April 19th inclusive; if he will, in particular, ensure that Official Reports containing the report of the Budget debate, namely the issues for 12th, 13th and 17th April, are published before the first day of the Committee stage of the Finance Bill on 8th May; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisEvery effort is being made to overtake the backlog of parliamentary printing resulting from the recent industrial unrest at the St. Stephen's Parliamentary Press. I very much regret, however, that it will not be possible to produce issues of theOfficial Report for 12th, 13th and 17th April before the first day of the Committee stage of the Finance Bill. I understand from my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House that the House authorities will continue to ensure that Members have those papers necessary for the conduct of the House, and that these will include material relating to the Budget contained in the outstanding issues of the Official Report referred to above.
