HC Deb 13 March 1902 vol 104 c1276
SIR EDWARD SASSOON (Hythe)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will now state when the final Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Cable Communications will be placed upon the Table.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

The Committee held its final meeting yesterday, and I hope that the Report will shortly be in the hands of Members.

SIR EDWARD SASSOON

was understood to ask if the evidence would be published.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I have not seen it yet, and should not like to answer the Question without notice. But I think that probably some of the evidence was of a highly confidential character, and could not be published. I will inquire.
