HC Deb 13 July 1984 vol 63 cc685-6W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State answering in respect of the Arts what publications are produced by or for the Office of Arts and Libraries; what is the annual cost of each; and who is responsible for the editorial policy.

Mr. Waldegrave

The main regular publication by the Office of Arts and Libraries is the annual report by the Minister for the Arts on library and information matters. The printing and publishing cost of his 1983 report (Cmnd. 9109) was about £660. Information about some other publications produced occasionally by or on behalf of the Office of Arts and Libraries is given in Her Majesty's Stationery Office catalogues; in the "Catalogue of British Official Publications Not Published by HMSO" issued by Chadwyck-Healey Limited; and in the bibliography on page 41 of volume II of "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1984–85 to 1986–87" (Cmnd. 9143). These sources are publicly available, and copies are in the Library.
