HC Deb 23 January 1990 vol 165 c599W
Mr. Kaufman

To ask the Lord President of the Council whether he will make inquiries as to why copies of theManchester Evening News are no longer regularly available in the Tea Room and Smoking Room.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

Until recently six copies of theManchester Evening News were suplied free of charge and delivered by hand to the House by the publisher. Under new arrangements introduced by the publisher, three copies are now posted to the House.

The authorities of the House have discussed these new arrangements with the publisher, who has agreed to re-provide six copies and to see what can be done about speeding up delivery arrangements. Meanwhile, copies of the Manchester Evening News will be placed in the Tea and Smoking Rooms as soon as they are received.
