HC Deb 14 October 1943 vol 392 c1046
45. Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government are prepared to consider granting facilities to Sir William Beveridge to have access to information available in Government Departments in connection with the independent inquiry he is carrying on into the problem of unemployment and its cure, in view of the great importance of the question and the necessity for obtaining the fullest advice on the subject?

The Prime Minister (Mr. Churchill)

On this particular subject I have nothing to add to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for East Islington (Mrs. Cazalet Keir) on 13th April last.

Mr. Mander

In the event of any application for facilities being received, would it receive sympathetic consideration?

Mr. Shinwell

Does the Prime Minister appreciate that if Sir William Beveridge is to be accorded such privileges every hon. Member is entitled to them?
