Public Undertakings
In connection with Parliamentary Bills for schemes of the kind now termed public utility undertakings, the standing Orders of the House of Lords (1843) required the deposit with the Clerk of the Peace, of a plan, and also a duplicate of such plan together with a book of reference. Promoters of railway bills had to deposit additional plans of deviations from original lines and when renewing any application to Parliament. Plans and books of reference were deposited from the earliest date (not in duplicate until 1838), also sections from 1812.
