HC Deb 19 November 1997 vol 301 c216W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy in respect of the faxing of press releases on the day of release to Opposition party spokesmen; what changes have been introduced since 1 May; and if he will make a statement.[16289]

Mr. Straw

My Department faxes all press releases to main Opposition spokesmen as a matter of course. The only changes introduced since 1 May relate to the names of the Opposition spokesmen designated to receive press releases.
