54. Mr. WHITEHOUSE

asked whether the inquiry into the cost of living has been instituted; and, if so, if he will state the names of the persons conducting the inquiry?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is intended to set up an expert inquiry into this question at an early date, but I am not yet in a position to give the names

Mr. WHITEHOUSE

Does he expect to be in a position soon to be able to announce the names?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Yes, quite soon.
