Mr. Ivan Henderson

To ask the President of the Council what arrangements are in hand to improve the accessibility of Orders in Council to hon. Members; and if she will make a statement. [130394]

Mrs. Beckett

Arrangements have been made for copies of Orders in Council approved since the beginning of the year 2000 to be made available to hon. Members in the House Library.

Copies of the Orders approved at the Privy Council meetings in February, March, April and May 2000 have already been sent to the Library. Copies of the Orders approved in June 2000 will be available later this month. Thereafter, copies of the Orders approved at monthly Privy Councils will be available during the succeeding month.

Copies of individual Orders will also continue to be available on request from the Privy Council Office.
