Ministers to plan the use of Parliamentary time. optimistic timetables are unhelpful all round. specific as you can indicating where possible 'early, 'mid' or 'late' when naming a month. In cases of doubt, earliest and latest dates should be given for each stage. Account should be taken of Parliamentary Counsel's absence on leave (during August and September). Departments are strongly advised to consult their legal advisers on entries for dates for delivery of
instructions.

ANNEX C
15. This annex is for Bills your Department considers would be suitable, and can be made ready, for offering to Private Members
of the House of Commons who are successful in the Ballot for
Bills which will take place at the beginning of the 1992/93
Session. The purpose of putting together this list now is to avoid a rush of requests for policy clearance and drafting at the beginning of the Session when pressure of work on Government Bills will be at its greatest. Once Departments' proposals have been considered and agreed, it should be possible to carry out preparatory work. on at least some of the Bills in advance of the
Ballot. There is of course no guarantee that a particular Bill
will be taken up. Your Department's list should include any Bills which have been offered or introduced in previous Session
without success and which you have been offered or introduced in previous Sessions without success and which you would like to offer again.
