The Report is now being considered by the High Commissioner in conjunction with Their Highnesses the Rulers of the Malay States, and I would prefer not to comment at this stage. Copies of the Report have been placed in the library of the House.
This phrase is often used in written answers to indicate that a minister has deposited some relevant information in the House of Commons Library. Typical content includes research reports, letters, and tables of data not published elsewhere.
A list of such depositions can be found at http://deposits.parliament.uk/ along with some of the documents. The Library is not open to the public, but copies of documents can be requested if they are not on that website.
