HC Deb 25 November 1912 vol 44 cc815-6
72. Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the right hon. Gentleman whether his attention has been called to charges impugning the good faith of the White Lead Committee and seeking to prejudice their Report before it is issued; and whether the Public Prosecutor proposes to take any action to protect the Committee against any attempt to influence their findings?

Mr. McKENNA

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I have seen the advertisements in the newspapers to which the question refers. I do not think the Committee are likely to be influenced by, or would wish any notice taken of, charges made anonymously in advertisements in the Press.
