A command paper is an official document in the United Kingdom which is issued by His Majesty's Government (HMG) and presented to Parliament.
White papers, green papers, treaties, government responses, draft bills, reports from royal commissions, reports from independent inquiries and various government organisations can be released as command papers, so called because they are presented to Parliament formally "By His Majesty's Command".
