Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 12 June 2006.


House of Lords: Library

Question
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord the Chairman of Committees for that Answer, which is very reassuring. Will he accept from me that all Members of the House greatly value the Library as a reference place and the staff of the Library of the House? Can he confirm that the constant updating of legal books will continue after the court leaves, as I understand that there are regular republications?
Answer

My Lords, I am sure that the whole House values the work of the Library and particularly of its staff. After 2009, stock acquisitions will take account of the cessation of the House's judicial function. However, the Library is currently noted for its legal collections and will continue to maintain and develop those in accordance with Members' needs and wishes.
