HC Deb 17 September 1914 vol 66 cc980-1
4. Mr. WILLIAM PEARCE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, as no Member of the House of Commons, is appointed on the Committee on Chemical Products and information is refused as to the proceedings of the Committee, he will undertake that no Grant or subsidy shall be made without the previous sanction of the House of Commons?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I fear I can add nothing to the answer given to my hon. Friend on Tuesday last.

Mr. W. PEARCE

On Tuesday last, my right hon. Friend promised to consider whether he would give any opinion. Has he anything to add to that?

Mr. ROBERTSON

The answer is the result of the inquiry.
