asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the volume of Defence Regulations, printed as in force on 10th December, 1950, 19th Edition, was not available in the Vote Office to hon. Members on 19th February, 1951.

This volume is a non-Parliamentary publication and has not hitherto been supplied to the Vote Office when issued. In view of its special nature it has, however, been supplied on request, and copies of the current edition are now available.
