HC Deb 18 November 1919 vol 121 c361
47. Mr. MARRIOTT

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government has considered the Report of the Select Committee on National Expenditure (Ninth Report, of Session of 1918, on Forms of Procedure); and whether, if so, the Government is prepared to propose to the House the setting up of one or more Estimates Committees in accordance with the recommendations therein contained?

Mr. BALDWIN (Financial Secretary to the Treasury)

It is not practicable to set up special Estimate Committees for the current year; but the question will receive further consideration as regards the future.
