§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will reconsider his decision to issue "Defence Statistics" as a non-parliamentary paper.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonNo. "Defence Statistics" has been established to provide for the regular publication of statistical information on defence matters. As an independent Government Statistical Service publication it is not appropriate to produce it as a parliamentary paper. Copies of the 1992 edition of "Defence Statistics" are available in the Library of the House, and through Her Majesty's Stationery Office, on the same basis as other Government Statistical Service publications.
