HC Deb 09 March 1916 vol 80 cc1723-4
37. Mr. CURRIE

asked whether the meetings of the Committee of Inquiry into the working of the Act are open to the public, and whether shorthand notes of evidence tendered are being kept?

Mr. ROBERTS

As regards the first part of the question I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy to a similar question on the 22nd ultimo. The point raised in the second part of the question is one for the determination of the Committee.

Mr. BOOTH

In view of the previous answer given to me, have the Committee come to a decision on the point?

Mr. ROBERTS

I am not quite sure whether they have or not, but the matter is entirely in their own hands.
