HC Deb 09 June 1903 vol 123 cc324-5
MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can say whether a full official Report of the Proceedings in the Houses of Parliament is published daily during the session in the United States, Holland, or any other foreign country; and, if so, at what price these papers are sold to the public and to members of the Legislature; whether he can ascertain what is the annual cost to the Governments of the publication of these papers; and whether he could arrange that specimen copies of them should be exhibited in the Reading Room.

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord CRANBORNE,) Rochester

We have in our possession only a small part of the information asked for by the hon. Gentleman. If he desires it complete, information shall be obtained.
