§ 47. Viscount WOLMERasked the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention has been called to a Report of the Select Committee on the Publications and Debates Reports and the recommendation contained therein that the Answers to Written Questions should no longer be circulated with the Votes as well as in the OFFICIAL REPORT, thereby effecting a saving of not less than £1,000 a Session; and whether he proposes to give effect to this recommendation?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe proposal seems to me to deserve support, as it would apparently effect a substantial saving without any real inconvenience to Members. If this opinion represents the 725 general sense of the House, I shall be prepared, at the proper time, to support an Amendment to Standing Orders giving effect to it.
