§ Mr. RoweTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs for how many regular publications he was responsible in 1993–94; what was their circulation; and how many were obtainable by subscription.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydMy right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary is responsible for a wide range of publications. A list of 93 publications is included on page 101 of the FCO departmental report for 1994 (Cm 2502), a copy of which is in the Library of the House. In addition, over 150 publications on aspects of Britain are produced each year, in various languages, for distribution by posts abroad.
To provide details of all the assorted circulations would be disproportionate to the time and cost involved. Most publications are distributed free. A few are available by subscription and others can be purchased from HMSO.
