§ Mr. AYLESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide the same free facilities for Members obtaining for personal use copies of Acts of Parliament, Parliamentary Reports and Papers, and Departmental Regulations, in so far as they are in print and available, which are non-current as are provided for similar publications which are current?
Mr. GRAHAMMembers may have a copy of any Act of Parliament, Parliamentary Report and Paper issued during a current Session; they may also obtain upon application to the Vote Office a copy of any Parliamentary Paper issued during the preceding Session, so long as copies are available at that Office. At the beginning of a new Session a Member may obtain, upon application, a bound volume containing the Acts of Parliament passed during the preceding Session. I may add that copies of all other Acts of Parliament and other Parliamentary Papers are available to Members for reference in the Library of this House. I am not prepared to agree to an extension of the present arrangements as regards the provision of free facilities. As regards Departmental Regulations, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 21st January last to the hon. Member for the Hillsborough Division of Sheffield (Mr. Alexander).
