§ LORD HAWKESBURYI beg to ask Her Majesty's Government whether arrangements can be made by which peers may be supplied with copies of The Parliamentary Debates in the same way as Members in the House of Commons.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (The Marquess of SALISBURY)My Lords, I am afraid the question is one of finance. The House of Commons votes 963 for the benefit of its own members the money to purchase the publication of Hansard. I am informed that the House of Commons has not extended that liberality to the House of Lords. I understand that no change can be made in the present year, because no Estimate has been voted. I presume the matter will be for the consideration of the authorities of the Treasury during the coming recess.
House adjourned at twenty minutes before Six of the clock, till To-morrow, half-past Ten of the clock.
