Mr. Kilroy-Silk
asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will publish in the Official Report the memorandum of guidance to officials on the provision of evidence to Select Committees.
Mr. Channon
A memorandum of guidance to officials, issued in 1976, was published as an appendix to the first report from the Select Committee on Procedure, Session 1977–78 (HC 588–1). As I said on 19 March in reply to a question from the hon. Member for Lewisham, West (Mr. Price)—[Vol. 981, 233–34]—this is now being brought up to date. When the revised memorandum is issued to Departments I shall arrange for a copy to be placed in the Library.
