§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why his Department's publications office at Alnwick, Northumberland was out of stock of the leaflet entitled "Nuclear Accidents and the Farmer" at the beginning of June; and what is the present position.
§ Mr. RyderA heavy initial demand meant that the Department's publications store was temporarily out of stock of the leaflet at the beginning of June. Following a further reprint, supplies have now been replenished.
§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why his Department's area offices in Yorkshire and Humberside have not yet received any supplies of his Department's leaflet entitled "Nuclear Accidents and the Farmer"; if he will list by region and location what area offices(a) have this leaflet and (b) do not have this leaflet; and when he expects all his offices will have this in stock.
§ Mr. RyderI refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave him on 10 April, column365. Stocks were originally held by the Ministry's publications unit at Alnwick and at regional and divisional offices. Following a recent reprint, supplies are being distributed to all area offices.
