Mr John Baron (Billericay):
To ask the Leader of the House, how many pages of (a) primary legislation and (b) delegated legislation were passed by the House in each (i) Session between 1983 and 1995 and (ii) calendar year between 1983 and the last year for which figures are available. Chris Bryant:
The information is set out below but is only readily available by calendar year.
