What information does the Full record contain?

Where available, records contain the following information:

• Chair/author
   
  
• Session
  Session is the term used for the parliamentary year, the time during which parliament is 'sitting'. This begins with the State Opening of Parliament, usually in October or November, and ends when parliament is prorogued the following year or when a general election is called.
   
  
• Paper Number
   
  
• Volume/page
  From 1801, at the end of each session the papers which have been before parliament were bound into volumes. The volume/page reference provides information on where the paper can be located in the original bound volumes.
   
  
• Collection
  The collection to which the record belongs.
   
  
• CH Microfiche number
  The microfiche number enables the location of this document within the Chadwyck-Healey microfiche edition of the House of Commons Parliamentary Papers.
   
  Microfiche numbers were applied to scanned versions of papers to around 1975. Thereafter fiche can be located by matching the session year and paper number from the full record to the equivalent reference on fiche.

How to cite Parliamentary Papers

The form suggested here follows the scheme proposed by Hansard, in his first General Alphabetical Index, 1801-1826.

Title and description / session / paper number / volume number.page number

e.g. Return of Number of Persons who have emigrated from G.B. and Ireland to Colonies and U.S.A., 1825-32; 1833 (696) XXVI.279

For a reference to a statement on a particular page of a paper, the title and description should be followed by the printed page number of the paper itself:

e.g. Papers on Union of British Columbia with Dominion of Canada. p.2; 1868-69 (390) XLIII.341
