§ Mr. Trippier[pursuant to his reply, 30 March 1987, c. 353]: In April 1986 the Management and Personnel Office, after consulting the chief medical officer DHSS, circulated all Departments with guidance to managers and model notes for staff. The Department of Employment group drew on those notes and on the Department of Employment-Health and Safety Executive book "AIDS and Employment" in providing notes for staff. I understand that copies of both of those pieces of guidance are available in the Library of the House.
