§ 76. Mr. MOSLEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the statements contained in paragraph 12 of the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General upon the appropriation account of the receipt and expenditure for Air Service, dated 601 the 21st March, 1921, to the effect that, with one exception, no Report on the Departmental examination of the accounts of loans made by the Admiralty to contractors for airship constructional establishments had been submitted to the Comptroller, and to his further statement in the same paragraph that he had been informed that in the case of one establishment that was closed in 1917 no examination had yet been commenced; whether he can state whether any Departmental examination of these accounts has yet been made; and, if so, the nature of the Reports?
Mr. YOUNGThese matters are under the consideration of the Public Accounts Committee appointed by this House, whose Report I would invite the hon. Member to await.
