§ 73. Mr. LEWIS HASLAMasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will consider the desirability of setting up within the precincts of the House a room where Members of Parliament may be able to refer readily to the publications of the Government indicated on the pink papers circulated among Members and where the more recent publications would be displayed; will he bear in mind that so doing might cause considerable economy, as Members would probably not be so liable to send for bulky and expensive publications, while on the other hand a place for ready reference to such publications would lead to a wider knowledge of their contents; and will he provide in such office the latest information as to the various Committees and Offices set up by the Government, their personnel, functions, and addresses?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Sir A. Mond)All publications which are laid on the Table of the House 1909 are to be found in the Library, and I do not think that it would be desirable to set apart a special room for their display. The latter part of the question does not come within the province of my Department.
