§ Order of the Day read for the consideration of the Third Report from the Select Committee.
§ The Committee's Report was as follows:
§ 1.—PICTURE OF THE HOUSE IN SESSION
§ The Committee were informed that demand for the coloured reproduction referred to in the notice circulated to Peers on the 8th July is insufficient to make the proposal economically feasible.
§ The Committee recommend instead that a high quality black and white photograph be made available for sale to Peers at 25s. They further recommend that permission be given to the Illustrated London News to publish a reproduction of the picture. After publication the Illustrated London News have agreed to place the block at the disposal of the House so that arrangements can be made to produce copies of this reproduction for sale to Peers at a reasonable price. Full details of these proposals will be circulated to Peers in due course.
