Recommendations of the Business Committee on Interactions with the Media

Recommendation to all delegations that no statements whatsoever should be given to the media and no press conferences held.

This advice against discussion with the media should cover papers as well as speech.

Party leaders should inform all prominent members that no papers should be released to the media, that there should be no comment to the media and no briefing on the process.

This arrangement is subject only to the caveat that if one group feels that its position had been prejudiced it could make an approach to the media if it first informed all other groups, in plenary session, of its intention to do so.

The above recommendations should apply to NIO officials as well.

The ban could not be expected to apply to those who have already made statements to the press and which would not be carried until lunchtime
