HC Deb 10 November 1988 vol 140 c252W
Sir Hal Miller

To ask the Minister for Arts what advice he has given to public library authorities regarding the stocking of "Spycatcher", following the recent House of Lords judgment.

Mr. Luce

I informed the House on 21 October 1987 that I had suggested that public library authorities should await the outcome of prospective court proceedings. In the light of the recent House of Lords judgment, I no longer wish to advise public libraries against stocking "Spycatcher". It is for them to make up their own minds.
