Victoria
Tower
The Victoria Tower is situated at the South end
of the Houses of Parliament above the Norman Porch
entrance. It houses the records of Parliament.
Vote Bundle
The daily working documents of the House of Commons
are known collectively as the Vote Bundle, or
just the Vote. It consists of a set of papers
containing information on the work or the Business
of the House for that day, the transactions of
the previous day's sitting and notices for future
days. These papers play an important role in informing
MPs of what is happening in the House of Commons.
Vote Office
The Vote Office is in charge of ensuring that
everyone receives copies of the Parliamentary
papers they need. In particular the Office distributes
Hansard and the Vote Bundle. The main office is
in the basement underneath the Members' Lobby
but there is also a smaller office in the Lobby
itself.
Votes and Proceedings
The Votes and Proceedings is the formal record
of the proceedings of the House on the previous
day's sitting. It does not record business that
is strictly informal involving no act or decision
of the house, such as questions, points of order,
ministerial statements or speaker's rulings. It
provides the basis of the Sessional Journal.
