HC Deb 01 August 1899 vol 75 c1052
MR. CARVELL WILLIAMS (Nottinghamshire, Mansfield)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, prior to the next session of Parliament, he will cause it to be considered whether the expense incurred in the supply of printed matter to Members may not, without disadvantage, be further diminished by discontinuing the distribution of Reports on Private Bills, of voluminous Amendments to such Bills, and of Amendments to Bills, which it is known will not be considered.

MR. HANBURY

The alteration suggested by the hon. Member cannot be made by the Treasury alone, but would require the assent of the authorities of the House. I will consult them on the subject.
