Are you looking for papers presented to the House?

Papers presented are documents presented to the House by Ministers or the Speaker.

They include:

• annual reports of public sector organisations
• statements of intent
• Budget documents
• Law Commission, Auditor-General, and Commissions of Inquiry reports
• international treaties
• Regulations

You can find Papers on the Parliamentary business page of Parliament’s website. There are often several papers presented each day. If you are looking for a particular document, search on key words or use one of the filters on the search screen.

Papers presented can be parliamentary or non-parliamentary papers. Parliamentary papers are published under the authority of the House. They have a shoulder number (eg. E9 for election results) and are published on Parliament’s website. Non-parliamentary papers do not have a shoulder number. They are listed on our website but not published there. If you want to see the content of a non-parliamentary paper you need to contact the organisation that produced the document.

Select committee reports are not included among papers. You can find them on the Parliamentary Business page under the Select Committees heading.
