HC Deb 07 July 1943 vol 390 cc2073-4
20. Mr, Creech Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Report on Labour Supervision in the Colonial Empire will be made available to Members?

Colonel Stanley

Yes, Sir. This Report was published yesterday, and is now available to Members in the Vote Office.

Mr. Creech Jones

May I thank the right hon. and gallant Gentleman and also congratulate his Department on the publication of this Report; and may I express the hope—[HON. MEMBERS: "No."] May I ask the right hon. and gallant Gentleman whether he will give the widest publicity to this Report, both in this country and in the United States?

Sir J. Lamb

Has the hon. Member had the opportunity of seeing the Report? If not, how can he offer congratulations?

Colonel Stanley

Perhaps I can answer that. This is not a Parliamentary Paper. It was, in fact, published in the Press yesterday, and any hon. Member would have had the opportunity of reading it.
