Editor's Notes
- More than just a lending Library
- Discuss enquiries and RPs/SNs
- What is a Green paper - when was this one introduced?
- What is a White paper? – Published in May 2012
- Relatively brief 18 page note looking at what happened under the previous administration and what is being proposed – providing links to relevant official documents and Library publications.
- Following 2R the bill goes to Public Bill Committee (which Ellie will talk about later). The Library will then produce a standard note outlining any of the changes that have been made – see CSR guidance
