HC Deb 18 July 1933 vol 280 cc1676-7
45. Mr. VYVYAN ADAMS

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any statement to make on the case of the Honour-able Violet Douglas-Pennant?

46. Mr. GUY

asked the Prime Minister if he will authorise the publication of a statement with reference to Miss Douglas-Pennant, which was prepared in 1931 by the late Attorney-General and which was submitted to and approved by Miss Douglas-Pennant?

47. Mr. LOVAT-FRASER

asked the Prime Minister whether, with regard to the pronouncement prepared in 1931 by Sir William Jowitt on the Douglas-Pennant case, he is now prepared to publish it?

The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Baldwin)

This case has been exhaustively considered both by my right hon. Friend and by his predecessors in office. I am sending my hon. Friends a copy of a letter which was addressed on the Prime Minister's instructions to the Chairman of the Douglas-Pennant Com- mittee on the 3rd June last. My right hon. Friend is not prepared to carry the question any further.

52. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether a further search of the files of the Ministry of National Services can be made with a view to discovering whether the copy of the letter written by Sir Auckland Geddes to Lord Weir in August, 1918, in respect of the Women's Royal Air Force camps is still in existence?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

A further search has been made, but the document in question cannot now be traced.
