HC Deb 07 June 1928 vol 218 c335
44. Major Sir RICHARD BARNETT

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the issue of bound volumes of the OFFICIAL REPORTS of Standing Committees has been discontinued; and, if so, by whose authority?

Mr. SAMUEL

The issue of bound volumes of the OFFICIAL REPORTS of Standing Committees has not been discontinued. The first volume for the 1927 Session will be published shortly.

Sir R. BARNETT

Is the Financial Secretary aware that only one volume has been published for the year 1926, and only one for the year 1927; and that, as a result of the absence of an official record, great inconvenience has been caused?

Mr. SAMUEL

I think my hon. and gallant Friend is under a misapprehension. I speak subject to correction, but I think two volumes for 1926 have been published, one in May and one in October.

Mr. DAY

Will the hon. Gentleman say what is the cost of those publications?

Mr. SAMUEL

I must ask for notice of that question.
