This site, formerly administered by the Stationery Office (TSO) and now archived by the National Archives, covers all Command Papers and departmentally sponsored House of Commons Papers (HCPs) from 17 May 2005 (the beginning of the 2005/06 parliamentary session) to January 2014. Texts are provided in PDF format. There is also a selection of earlier Command Papers, HCPs and other key government papers going back to 1951/52. Command Papers in particular are often important as providing the background to particular pieces of legislation, including as they do statements of government policy which are familiarly known as “White Papers”. (Note: the primary online source for new Command Papers is now the GOV.UK site, with coverage there from January 1993 onwards.)
