HC Deb 28 May 1894 vol 24 cc1398-9
MR. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he will accord to the Library of the University of Aberdeen the privilege enjoyed by Public Libraries of obtaining Parliamentary Papers to file for reference; and if he will grant to this Library a set of the six-inch Government Ordnance Maps of Scotland, as there is no complete set of these maps north of Edinburgh?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

In view of the importance of the Aberdeen University I shall be pleased to arrange for adding it to the list of institutions now supplied with Parliamentary Papers free of charge under what are known as "Speaker's Orders" and Treasury authorities. In view, however, of the cost of sets of six-inch Ordnance Maps, I am afraid that I should not be justified in supplying them gratuitously to the University.
