§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will detail the difference between MAFF News release 177/92, "Imports of Milk and Milk Products by the Milk Marketing Boards", and 177/92 (amended version) both issued on 29 May 1992; and how many copies of each were issued.
§ Mr. CurryMAFF news release 177/92 of 29 May 1992 stated in Notes to Editors that
regulations have been issued for consultationetc. In MAFF news release 177/92 (amended version) of 29 May 1992 this phrase was replaced byregulations will be issued for consultation".The first version was based on an early draft and issued inadvertently.In order to ensure that the correct position was widely understood the amended version was issued to the same list of recipients. This list consisted of 335 addressees on the MAFF press office specialist "milk" list and 337 addresses on the Maff press office general list. Both versions were also transmitted electronically to 200 media outlets.
