Every effort has been made to avoid imposing restrictions on the
numbers of reporters attending any function but, if the number of pressmen
attending any given function exceeds manageable proportions, the Information
Services Department reserves the right to reduce these numbers by refusing
accreditation to:
(a) the second reporting representative of any publishing
house which publishes both morning and afternoon newspapers; and
(b) newspapers and periodicals (magazines) which do not normally
cover official events. The reporting staff of most foreign and local news agencies will, however, be given the same priority as representatives of morning newspapers.
ACCREDITATION

commentators, etc.) will be accredited specially for the Royal Visit.
Ordinary newspaper identification cards or passes or other identification
documents will not be recognised.
