HC Deb 20 December 1990 vol 183 cc300-1W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the media advisory service has been made operational in connection with the Gulf crisis; if he will name the chairman of the media advisory service; and whether the Central Office of Information report entitled "A Plan for a Media Advisory Service: The No Win War" will be made available to the House.

Mr. Maples

There are no plans at present to activate the media advisory service in connection with the Gulf crisis. The chairman designate of the service has not yet been announced. The Central Office of Information report entitled, "A Plan for a Media Advisory Service: The No Win War", was intended for inter-departmental discussion and restricted in its circulation.
