§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Lord Privy Seal what criteria govern the selection of foreign newspapers which are available in the Library; if he will arrange for copies of the Baltimore News, backdated to 12 April, to be made available in the Library; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BiffenThe selection of foreign newspapers available in the Library is strictly limited by constraints of space, cost and staff time, and only a very few foreign titles are regularly filed. If the hon. Member has a need to consult specific issues of this newspaper, theBaltimore News American, the Librarian will gladly do his best to help.
