§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Minister for the Arts what responses he has received to the Green Paper on library services from(a) local authorities, (b) professional organisations, and (c) individuals; and how many of those gave support to the proposals outlined in the Green Paper.
§ Mr. LuceI have received about 850 responses so far to the library Green Paper, predominantly from individuals, but many from library authorities. I can, I understand, expect to receive comments before 30 June from all the major professional library organisations. The task of analysing and considering the responses will follow.
