HC Deb 18 July 1989 vol 157 c126W
Mr. Burt

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he has any plans for the future of his Department's weekly magazine,British Business.

Mr. Newton

My right hon. and noble Friend has decided thatBritish Business magazine should cease publication in the autumn. Alternative arrangements are being made for the publication of essential regulatory information and similar announcements from the Department. Responsibility for all the economic statistical series for which the Department is at present responsible will shortly transfer to the Central Statistical Office, and I understand that the CSO is considering how to deal with the series which currently appear in British Business.
