§ Mr. NEEDHAMasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been 865W drawn to Cd. 7104, Historical Manuscripts Commission publication of Calendar of the Stuart Papers, Vol. VI.; and whether similar publications are to be made during the War?
Mr. H. SAMUELThe Prime Minister has asked me to reply to this question. I am informed by the Controller of the Stationery Office that it is proposed to publish during the War only one other volume of this series, and that it is more economical to issue these particular volumes now than to postpone publication, as the matter has been long in type, and type-rent would otherwise be payable. The paper used is an old stock, bought especially for the purpose. Most of the volume just published was printed off a year or two ago.
