HC Deb 17 January 1989 vol 145 cc127-8W
Mr. Steinberg

To ask the Lord President of the Council if he will ensure that a copy of every Library deposited paper is supplied to the branch library in Norman Shaw North; and if he will monitor the situation in the future.

Mr. Wakeham

About 80 per cent. of papers deposited in the Members' Library are also available in the branch library. Some papers because of their size, format or restricted contents, cannot easily be duplicated. However, I have made arrangements to remind Government Departments of the desirability of sending a second copy to the branch library whenever possible. The Library keeps deposited paper arrangements under constant review.
