§ Mr. WEBBasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of Annual Reports of Public Departments, 704W and other Parliamentary Papers lately distributed to Members, which are now not so distributed, being merely placed on sale by the Stationery Office; whether he will circulate a list of such Papers, with the prices at which they may now be obtained by Members; and whether, in view of the very small expense involved by a few additional copies, he will allow such of these Papers as may be specially asked for by Members, as being required by them in connection with their public duties, to be supplied to them without charge?
§ Major BOYD-CARPENTERUnder the revision of Government publications made in 1921, approximately 200 publications in all have been transferred to the category of Stationery Office publications. I will circulate a list as requested, when the hon. Member will see that it is comprised mainly of such publications as colonial and foreign Reports, statistical publications, and Reports of local or sectional interest not usually required by hon. Members. If, however, hon. Members consider that any particular publications in the list are necessary for the discharge of their Parliamentary duties, I shall be glad to arrange for them to be supplied on special application to the Controller of the Stationery Office, as, indeed, has already been done in certain cases.
