HC Deb 24 July 1877 vol 235 c1738
MR. HERMON

asked Mr. Speaker, Whether, considering the number of Returns that were moved for by hon. Members, and their great cost, it would not be desirable that in future every Member moving for Returns should append to them the probable cost, so that hon. Members might be able to judge in some measure whether it was desirable to vote them or not?

MR. SPEAKER

said, it was a matter for the consideration of the House, and not for the Speaker.
