No. With great respect, the points are different. I know quite well what the Library Committee has been discussing about a press cuttings library. The point is that this Question does not relate to the House of Commons Library.
The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
