In Great Britain, Her Majesty s Stationery Office (P.O. Box 569, London, S.E.l) issues over 5,000 publications and 60 periodicals annually. Many of these are known as Parliamentary Papers which are produced especially for parliament and include reports of the nationalized industries, statements of scientific policy, and Statutory Instruments which are rules made by ministers and others in authority by virtue of power granted to them by law. Other government publications are known as Non-Parliamentary Papers and consist of a very extensive range of reports issued by government departments on research and development in all fields of science and technology which they have carried out.
