§ Mr. Paul MurphyPress releases are sent by fax only to people who have requested this service to meet urgent needs. Opposition spokesmen have not sought this service. Releases are distributed widely by courier and by mail, including the House of Commons Library, and are posted on the Internet immediately upon issue. No changes have been sought or introduced since 1 May.
