LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH

I hope to be able to move in a few days for the appointment of the Committee referred to by my hon. Friend. The general object of the inquiry which. I should propose would be the existing arrangements for the printing, distribution, and sale of Acts of Parliament, Orders in Council, and Papers printed at the public expense for the information of Parliament, and for the storage of Parliamentary Papers.
