HC Deb 06 December 1906 vol 166 c1188
MR. BOWLES

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is proposed to carry out in practice the suggestion made in paragraph 31 of the recent Report of the Select Committee on Official Publications that, before agreeing to grant a Return, the Minister responsible should consult the Stationery Office as to its proposed form, and that, when agreeing to grant a Return, he should state to the House the probable cost of its preparation and printing.

MR. MCKENNA

The Report of the Select Committee is under consideration, and no statement can be made on the subject at present.
