HC Deb 23 March 1914 vol 60 cc27-8
55. Major ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government will consider the advisability of appointing another Royal Commission to deal with the question of the storage of food and raw material in time of war in view of the altered circumstances since the Report of the Royal Commission of 1905?

The PRIME MINISTER

Various aspects of the question of the supply of food and raw material in time of war are being carefully examined by Sub-committees of the Committee of Imperial Defence, and I see no reason to appoint a Royal Commission on the subject.
