My Lords, out of interest, what use do we make of the Library? How many of its books have not been borrowed by anyone in the past five years?

My Lords, I am glad to hear from the noble Lord the Chairman of Committees that the Library will continue its extremely useful services. I wish to raise one point with him, which is something of a hobby horse of mine. It is not his fault in any way, but the Government have still not made updated and amended versions of statutes available on the website. All that we can get is the Queen's Printer's copy, which is usually out of date and quite useless. Can the noble Lord draw the Government's attention to the importance of putting statues as amended on to the website?

My Lords, I ask the Chairman of Committees again whether the budget for the law books will remain as it is now and be updated in line with inflation. Am I correct in thinking there is a separate budget for books used by the Law Lords and for those available to the House in general?

My Lords, as the noble Lord says, it is not really my responsibility, but the question will be noted and the Government's attention drawn to it.

My Lords, I am not sure if there is a separate budget. I will have to find out about it and write to the noble Baroness.

My Lords, I have no idea. The House of Lords Library is very well valued. I am sure that certain books are taken out more often than others. Some of them may not rate as a cracking good read, but, nevertheless, it is important that the House maintains a library such as it has. It also has good reciprocal arrangements, as all good libraries do, with other libraries. If the noble Lord wished to find something that was not in our Library, I am sure that arrangements could be made to get it from another one.

My Lords, the establishment of the Supreme Court will have only a very minor impact on the House of Lords Library. The new Supreme Court will have its own library. In October 2003, the Information Committee agreed that duplicate copies of various text books and other materials will be transferred to the Supreme Court, along with certain periodicals that are used only by Lords of Appeal in Ordinary. The main Library collection will not be affected.

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?

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.
