HC Deb 02 November 1911 vol 30 c1010
Captain WARING

asked whether the Report of the Committee of the Fishery Board, with reference to harbour grants from the Development Fund, is now completed; when this Report will be laid upon the Table; and whether an opportunity will be afforded of discussing the recommendations in this House?

Mr. URE

Reports under the Development Act are made for the information of the Development Commissioners, and I cannot come under any undertaking that they will be published. It would obviously in any case be inconvenient that publication should take place while communications are passing between the Commissioners and the Departments interested. In the circumstances I cannot hold out prospects of discussion in this House as suggested by my hon. Friend.

Captain WARING

Has this House any right to consider the policy to be adopted in the disposal of this money?

Mr. URE

Yes.

Captain WARING

Will an opportunity be afforded for discussion?

Mr. URE

Yes.
