HC Deb 11 August 1919 vol 119 c894
Mr. HURD

In view of the Debate on the Profiteering Bill to-day, can the Leader of the House say why the House is not in possession of the evidence laid before the Committee by the Food Controller, the President of the Board of Trade, and the Food Commissoner for Scotland?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I have no doubt that the members of the Government concerned will make it quite plain in the Debate what the evidence was.

Mr. HURD

Does the right hon. Gentleman not think it desirable that the evidence put before the Committee should be before the House, in view of to-day's Debate?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The evidence of the President of the Board of Trade was a statement made by him, and he will make a similar statement before the House of Commons.
