HC Deb 16 January 1980 vol 976 cc752-3W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will state the precise reasons for the non-publication of part II of the Official Report of 21 December 1979.

Mr. Channon

Part II of theOfficial Report of 21 December 1979 was pub- lished on Wednesday 9 January 1980. A part II was necessary in the first place because of the amount of matter to be completed and because of shortage of staff at the St. Stephen's Parliamentary Press.
