HC Deb 07 March 1910 vol 14 cc1152-3
Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

asked whether the Treasury had yet framed the regulations prescribing the mode of application for advances out of the Development Fund under Part I. of the Development Act; and, if not, when it is proposed to do so?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The regulations will be drawn up as soon as the Development Commission is constituted.

Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

May I ask whether these regulations cover applications made by a Government Department?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I should hardly like to anticipate what the views of the Commission will be. They ought to have a free hand as to the advice they give as to the character of the regulations.
