e.g. Science and Technology Committee, Genomic Medicine (HL 2008-09, 107-I) paras 3.1-3.6
Give the title of a report in italics.
Give the first letter of all major words a capital letter. Minor words (e.g. 'for', 'and', 'or', 'the') should not be capitalized, unless they begin a title or a subtitle.
If a report has a title and a subtitle that are not separated by punctuation, insert a colon : between them.
Select Committees work in both Houses of Parliament. Indicate the House as follows:
For reports of Joint Committees, give both the House of Lords and House of Commons paper numbers in that order, e.g. Joint Committee on Human Rights, Legislative Scrutiny: Digital Economy Bill (2009–10, HL 44, HC 327).
Cite the paper number, followed by a comma and the volume number, e.g. 107–I. The volume number should be given in Roman numerals.
