HC Deb 16 March 1922 vol 151 cc2377-8
96. Mr. WILLIAM NICHOLSON

asked the Minister of Agriculture when the Report of the Advisory Committee for Research into Diseases of Animals will be published; whether the Report was signed by all the members of the Committee last November; and who is responsible for the delay in publishing the Report?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

The Report has now been published. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative. The Report was not signed by all the members of the Committee until the 15th February last, upon which date it was submitted to the Development Commissioners. Publication was authorised by the Commissioners on 23rd February at their next meeting following the receipt of the Report. No delay in publication can therefore be said to have occurred.
