Lord Bruce of Doningtonasked Her Majesty's Government:
What steps they propose to take, other than by the usual press notices, to keep Members of both Houses of Parliament fully informed during the three months of recess of all important developments within the United Kingdom's presidency programme as these occur, and, in particular, of those relating to the finances of the Community.
