HC Deb 21 May 1914 vol 62 c2133
54. Mr. J. WARD

asked the Prime Minister when he can give the House the kind of Committee which he proposes to set up relating to the use of the military in civil disturbances, together with the names of the Committee and the date when it is proposed to hold the first meeting?

The PRIME MINISTER

As I stated yesterday, I think a Select Committee of the House is the most suitable form of inquiry, and I am doing what I can to expedite its appointment. I am not yet in a position to give the names of the members or the date of the first meeting.

Sir J. D. REES

Is not the Committee to deal with the use of arms by the military and not the use of the military as stated in the question?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think both.
