§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked 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-GEORGEThe regulations will be drawn up as soon as the Development Commission is constituted.
§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTMay I ask whether these regulations cover applications made by a Government Department?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEI 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.
