HC Deb 08 February 1996 vol 271 c284W
Dr. Wright

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which of his Department's administrative manuals and internal guidance are now made public; and which remain private. [14032]

Mr. Hanley

The FCO code of management, diplomatic service regulations and home service regulations are available in the House of Commons Library.

Diplomatic service procedure includes volumes which are classified. It is currently being revised, and volumes are being declassified where possible, with a view to sending unclassified sections to the House of Commons Library.

One-off best practice manuals, covering such subjects as management practices and guidance on the presentation of papers, are unclassified and available on request.
