HC Deb 22 January 1918 vol 101 cc812-3
63. Colonel GRETTON

asked the Minister of Reconstruction when the White Paper will be laid which is to give the members of the various Committees of the Ministry their references and functions; and if he is aware that this Paper was promised at an early date on several occasions last year?

The MINISTER of RECONSTRUCTION (Dr. Addison)

The list has been in the hands of the printers for some time. It is hoped that it will be ready for issue at the end of the week.

Mr. MacVEAGH

Is the right. hon. Gentleman aware that it has taken the Government no less than ten months to get a list of the number of members of the Government and Government Departments, and does he think ten months not enough to enumerate the whole list?

Dr. ADDISON

I am afraid the hon. Member is referring to something else and not to this question.
