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 B
18.
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 1994/95 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.
19. To be suitable for offering to a Private Member a Bill
should normally be short (usually no more than
than 10 clauses),
