There is another point to which my attention has been called by Senator the Earl of Mayo, and that is as to the importance of having books of general reference in the House available for Senators. In the British House of Commons there is a table on the floor of the House upon which these books of reference are, so that any member can approach and take one from the table and use it. Owing to our restrictions, we have not been able to do that, but I shall arrange that a book-case or some accommodation shall be put up in the Reading Room, and that the ordinary books of reference shall be put into that, so as to be available for Senators who require to use them.
BOOKS OF REFERENCE.
