§ MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH (Derbyshire, W.)asked the Prime Minister whether he was aware that statements had appeared in the Press purporting to give the recommendations of the Committee on Income-tax, whether the Report had yet been hid on the Table of the House, and whether steps would be taken to prevent such premature disclosures.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe report of the Committee has not yet been issued, but I believe certain statements, some quite inaccurate, have been published on the subject. The only method of preventing such premature disclosure rests with members of the Committee—of whom I believe my right hon. friend was one—and no doubt they will take notice of the Question. I do not know that I can do anything.
§ MR. VICTOR CAVENDISHassured the right hon. Gentleman that he had made no disclosure.
