§ 29. Mr. ACLANDasked the Prime Minister whether action has yet been taken on the recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee contained in paragraph 22 of their Second Report, that there should be an independent inquiry into the whole system of internal financial control at the Admiralty?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWMy right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer is in communication with the First Lord of the Admiralty on the subject.
§ Mr. ACLANDMay I ask whether, although the Report was presented in July, it is only just now, for the first time, receiving consideration?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI was not aware of that, but I think the First Lord dealt with that yesterday, and I cannot add anything to what he said.
