HC Deb 07 July 1925 vol 186 c231
Mr. GEOFFREY PETO

I beg to ask, Mr. Speaker, whether you have been able to arrange for an index of questions, to be kept up to date, so as to be available for reference by Members?

Mr. SPEAKER

In response to a rather general request of Members of the House, I have arranged for a careful index of questions to be kept by the clerks in the Library of the House, and I shall have a record kept to show how much Members avail themselves of it, so as to see whether the expense involved is justified. It is hoped that the index will result in a saving in the cost of printing and preparing answers to questions which now appear on the Paper, and which have been asked and answered previously. This index is being compiled as from 1st July last.
