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.
