§ 44. Mr. HAYDN JONESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it will be competent for Civil servants to give evidence before the Economy Committee; and whether assurance will be given that their action in giving evidence will not prejudice their future careers?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt will be for the Committee to determine who shall appeal-before them as witnesses. If the Committee decide to call Civil servants, the position of those so summoned will, of course, be in no way prejudiced by the nature of the evidence which they give.
