Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish a Cabinet Office manual providing a comprehensive, easy to use guide to central government decision-making.

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

Questions of Procedure for Ministers was published by the previous administration, and its 1997 successor will be published. In addition the Cabinet Office had produced two booklets Cabinet Committee Business—a Guide for Departments and Guide to Legislative Procedures. Copies of both documents are available in the Library of the House.
