HC Deb 09 July 1913 vol 55 cc406-7
46. Mr. GEORGE TERRELL

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give a day for the hearing of a Motion for the reappointment of the Marconi Committee to take the evidence of Lord Murray; and whether he will give a day for the discussion of the Committee's Report presented upon Wednesday last?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.

Mr. G. TERRELL

Are we to understand that there is to be no further inquiry into this matter and that it is to be hushed up?

The PRIME MINISTER

It is not a question of hushing up. I have answered the question in the negative.

Mr. JOHN WARD

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of appointing a permanent Royal Commission so that this subject may always be considered from year to year?
