§ Mr. TrendTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritiage what representations he has received regarding his proposals for a library commission; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SproatWe received more than 150 responses to our public consultation paper on a new library and information commission, of which most were strongly in favour. The Government have therefore decided to proceed with the establishment of the commission from January 1995, thus providing an influential new forum for the development of policy on library provision.
