HL Deb 20 May 1884 vol 288 c837

Moved, That it be an instruction to the Select Committee on the Office of the Clerk of the Parliaments and Office of the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to inquire into the arrangements for the distribution of Parliamentary Papers, with a view to seeing how it happens that reports of Royal Commissions are often commented upon in the newspapers before they have been distributed to Members of the House; and also why it is that papers are often distributed to Members of the House of Commons before they are distributed to Members of this House; agreed to (The Lord Balfour.)
