<p>We do not hold information regarding the gender of authors or editors on our stock
control systems. Without considerable research it would not be possible to assign
a gender to each author as names are not always easily assigned.</p><p>In addition,
we stock a significant number of titles for which there is no author or editor named
on our system. Such titles include <em>The London Diplomatic List, the Civil Service
Yearbook, Vacher’s Quarterly </em>and a number of similar reference titles<em>.</em>
The stock changes on a regular basis as many titles are written about current issues
and do not stay in the range for long so that titles are added and deleted from the
range each month.</p><p>As previously stated, we are committed to the inclusion of
women authors within our range, and aim to represent women’s role in British politics
wherever possible. This is an essential part of our objective to stock titles that
shed light on British politics, Parliament and democracy.</p><p>If the hon. Member
would like to discuss the matter further, the Senior Retail Operations Manager would
be more than happy to meet her.</p>
