What are Notice Papers?

Notice Papers record the agenda of business proposed before each day's sitting in Parliament, e.g. what bills are set down for debate, what motions are to be made for select committees to be set up, or subjects to be debated, and may also include a list of Questions on Notice. Notice Papers may have little relation to the actual events of a sitting day.

Notice Papers are not indexed and in most cases are not cumulated into bound volumes.

In some parliaments the Notice Paper may be printed together with, but following, the Votes and Proceedings, while in other parliaments it is published separately. Notice Papers are cumulated into volumes only for the Parliaments of Tasmania and Western Australia, which republish the notice papers of both Houses unindexed, in the sessional volumes containing their official records.
