§ SIR JOHN KENNAWAYasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether 2103 he proposes to take any steps to carry out recommendations of Select Committee on Harbour Accommodation to the effect that the old practice in regard to granting loans for purposes of making harbours be reverted to, and that the question of policy of harbour works proposed to be executed with loans of public money should be decided by the Board of Trade, leaving to the Public Works Loan Commissioners to judge of the security offered?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS), in reply, said, he might remind the hon. Baronet that the Report on this question had only very recently been printed; but the evidence had not yet been printed. The Treasury had, therefore, not been able to consider what came before the Committee; but they would do so at the earliest opportunity.
