§ 1. Resolved, That the present system, under which this House employs for its ordinary work a separate printer, working independently of, and without reference to, other Government contracts, is inexpedient, and be at the first convenient opportunity discontinued.
§ 2. Ordered, That the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury be authorised to make preliminary arrangements, and, at the proper time, to lay open to public competition, and enter into contracts to provide, in such manner as they may think best, for all the printing of this House, other than the printing of the Votes and Proceedings and Journals: provided that such contracts made, either separately or in connection with other printing for the Public Service, shall be laid before the House not less than forty days, and shall then take effect, unless disapproved by the House.
§ 3. Ordered, That all Papers printed by order of this House, or presented by Command of Her Majesty, other than those required for the use of Members or officers of this House, be placed under the custody of the Stationery Office; all such Papers to be as far as possible made easily accessible to the public by purchase, and the proceeds to be paid into the Exchequer.—(Lord Frederick Cavendish.)
