Home Department written statement – made at on 23 June 2005.
Charles Clarke
Home Secretary
The Sentencing Guidelines Council has today published its first annual report, jointly with the Sentencing Advisory Panel, giving details of the excellent work it has achieved since its creation in March 2004 and outlining its work plans for the next 12 months. Copies of the annual report have been placed in the library of the House.
This phrase is often used in written answers to indicate that a minister has deposited some relevant information in the House of Commons Library. Typical content includes research reports, letters, and tables of data not published elsewhere.
A list of such depositions can be found at http://deposits.parliament.uk/ along with some of the documents. The Library is not open to the public, but copies of documents can be requested if they are not on that website. For more information, see the House of Commons factsheet: http://www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/P15.pdf
