HL Deb 13 February 1872 vol 209 c287

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY moved, That the Lists of Accounts and Papers printed by Order of the House of Commons, which are laid upon the Table with the Votes of that House, be printed and circulated with the Minutes of this House.

EARL GRANVILLE

thought the proposition of the noble Marquess an excellent one.

EARL GREY

suggested that a means should be adopted whereby Peers who wished for certain Papers produced in the Commons might be able to procure them without moving for their production in their Lordships' House. It might be that only a very few Peers required a certain Paper issued to the Commons; but when a Motion was made for its production in the Lords, a sufficient number of copies had to be printed for all the Members of their Lordships' House.

EARL GRANVILLE

said, the suggestion of his noble Friend should be considered by the Government.

Motion agreed to.

Ordered, That the Lists of Accounts and Papers printed by Order of the House of Commons, which are laid upon the Table with the Votes of that House, be printed and circulated with the Minutes of this House.
