§ 27. Mr. MOSLEYasked the Prime Minister whether any decision has been arrived at on the recommendations of the seventh Report of the Select Committee on National Expenditure, 1918, as to the, form of Public Accounts?
Mr. YOUNGThe new system has been introduced in the War Office, and has-also been tried experimentally in certain cases in the Admiralty. I am not satisfied that it is suitable for Votes-other than War Office Votes, or for Civil Votes generally, but the whole matter, including the question of the possible increase in staff and cost involved by the proposed change, is under consideration.
