HMSO was established as a new department of HM Treasury on 5 April 1786, when John Mayor was appointed as its first Superintendent. The creation of the Office was a result of the advocacy of Edmund Burke for reforms of the corrupt, expensive and inefficient Royal Household and the Civil Service. Before the establishment of HMSO, the Crown would grant patents (exclusive rights) for the supply of stationery; the patentee could buy these supplies cheaply and then charge highly inflated prices. At first HMSO was the agent for various government departments but, from 1822, all government departments were required to buy stationery through the open competitions and tenders operated by HMSO. HMSO also took over as official publisher for both houses of Parliament from Hansard in 1882. In 1889, HMSO was granted Letters Patent under which it was appointed as Queen's Printer of Acts of Parliament. These letters patent also appointed the Controller of HMSO as administrator of the rights of Crown copyright. It is one of the biggest publishers in the world, holding 49,000 titles in stock. Prior to 1996, it was the publisher of virtually all government material, such as command papers, legislation and official histories. After 1996 the Controller of HMSO remained Queen's Printer of Acts of Parliament and retained the role of administering Crown copyright. The Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) later the body responsible for the operation of Her Majesty's Stationery Office announced on 21 June 2006 that it was merging with the National Archives. This merger took place in October 2006. OPSI continues to discharge its roles and responsibilities from within the structure of the National Archives.
