Updating

(i) If late developments require a brief to be amended or updated, a revise should be prepared. It should be set out in the form described at (e) above, with the brief number amended to show that it is a revise (eg PMVE (83) A10 (Revise)). Subsequent revises should be numbered (eg PMVE (83) A10 (Revise 2); etc). If it is a question of adding material to the brief rather than revising its existing contents, an addendum may be prepared, in the form described at (e) above with the brief number (eg PMVE(83) A10 Addendum) and title to which it relates at the top of the front page. The Private Secretary to the Secretary of the Cabinet should be informed when a revise or an addendum is in preparation and also about corrigenda to briefs.

(j) Additions to the list of briefs in Annex A require the

authorisation of the Private Secretary to the Secretary of the Cabinet.
