Mr Major’s Written Parliamentary Answer on Crown Copyright – 25 March 1986

Below is the text of Mr Major’s written Parliamentary Answer on Crown Copyright on 25th March 1986.


Mr. Kirkwood Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why he has arranged for the footnote © crown copyright to appear on certain recent circulars from his Department; and whether this illustrates a general change of policy.

Mr. Major This inclusion of the © Crown copyright legend on circulars issued by the Department of Health and Social Security follows recent correspondence from HMSO which acted as a reminder that all material published by Government is Crown copyright.
