HC Deb 25 May 1921 vol 142 c122
3. Viscount CURZON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether Members of Parliament will be allowed to have access to all official documents relating to the War to which Sir Julian Corbett is allowed access; whether any expense is incurred by the publication of Sir Julian Corbett's History of the War; and upon what Vote is it borne?

Mr. AMERY

Individual Members of Parliament have no more privileges in this connection than the public generally. The expenses of the Official Histories of the War fall upon Civil Service Votes.

Viscount CURZON

Can the hon. Gentleman say exactly what official document Sir Julian Corbett has access to which the public have not?

Mr. AMERY

I think I should have notice of that question.
