HC Deb 10 August 1857 vol 147 c1292
SIR JOHN PAKINGTON

said, he would now ask whether the Report of the Common Law Commission, which had been printed and presented to the House, would be sent to all the Members, or whether copies of it would simply be deposited at the Vote Office. There was a number of other papers on the same subject, of which a list had been printed, and he also wished to know whether these would also be circulated among Members?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, he willingly admitted that on a question of this importance it was desirable that the papers should be printed and circulated, but he did not think a sufficient number of copies had been printed.

MR. WILSON

said, with regard to the second question, that if there was a sufficient number of copies there could be no objection to the circulation of the papers. Some of them, however, had been presented many years ago, and only a few copies were in print.
