§ 44. Sir WILLIAM BYLESasked the Prime Minister if, for the purpose of accurate reference, he will consider the advisability of an official note being taken of proceedings in Standing Committees, and 204 a summary Report issued, as was formerly done with the Debates in this House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERAs I stated on the 19th instant, I think the balance of argument and convenience is against a change in the present practice.
§ Sir W. BYLESI am not talking now of a verbatim report. I am merely suggesting a summarised report, such as we used to have in the old Debates?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWell, Sir, I will consider that.
