HC Deb 13 July 1914 vol 64 c1492
45. Mr. J. WARD

asked the Prime Minister whether he can state the reasons why his Department refuses to publish the Report of Sir Edward Ward's Committee on the Industrial Training of the Army?

The PRIME MINISTER

The publication of the Report of Sir E. Ward's Committee on Industrial Training of Soldiers has been held over pending consideration of its bearing on the reference to the Committee dealing with the Civil Employment of the Ex-soldier.

Mr. WARD

Am I to take it for granted that a second Committee has been appointed for the purpose of delaying the publication of this Committee's Report?

Mr. LEE

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether it is proposed to publish the Report of the Committee?

The PRIME MINISTER

The matter is under consideration.
