§ Mr. ChannonA memorandum of guidance to officials, issued in 1976, was published as an appendix to the first report from the Select Committee on Procedure, Session 1977–78 (HC 588–1). As I said on 19 March in reply to a question from the hon. Member for Lewisham, West (Mr. Price)—[Vol. 981, 233–34]—this is now being brought up to date. When the revised memorandum is issued to Departments I shall arrange for a copy to be placed in the Library.
