HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 c1637
53. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Prime Minister, in view of shipbuilding being of such overwhelming importance, whether he can make a statement as to the alleged resignation of the whole of the Advisory Shipbuilding Committee?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I cannot usefully add anything to the notice which was issued to the Press on the 23rd of November announcing the formation of a Shipbuilding Council, in which it was stated that all the gentlemen who served on the Shipbuilding Advisory Committee, and who have not since joined the staff of the Controller's Department, have already consented to serve on the Council.
