Under the new regulations d Civil servant who produces a book, of which the subject matter is "con- nected with the oficial duties of himself or other public servante will be required to obtain the con- sent of the head of his department before publication.

If the head of the department decides that the work owes its value exclusively to the ability and research of the author, no special arrangements will be made for the supply of copies to the Service, In all other cases, however, if the head of the department considers that copies of the proposed book will be required for the Service, he will, in conjunction with the Stationery Office, decide whether the work shall be published by the Stationery Office and the author receive such payment for his extra official work as may be agreed with N.
