§ Mrs. Ann Wintertonasked the Lord Privy Seal what is the reason for the recent lack of parliamentary papers in the Norman Shaw North issue office; if he will seek to ensure that Her Majesty's Stationery Office makes regular deliveries of parliamentary papers direct to that office; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BiffenHer Majesty's Stationery Office does not make direct deliveries of parliamentary documents to the Norman Shaw North issue office because of the administrative requirement of centralised financial control and distribution. For this reason all documents are received initially at the main Vote Office stores.
Every effort will continue to be made to ensure that there is no lack of parliamentary papers at that office.
