§ SIR F. BANBURY (City of London)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether shorthand notes of the proceedings at the Poplar inquiry are being taken; and whether they will be available to Members of this House.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) I have arranged for shorthand notes of the proceedings being taken. The notes would only be available to Members of the House if they were printed and issued as a Parliamentary Paper. I propose to defer she consideration of the question whether this should be done until after the completion of the inquiry.
