34. Captain Viscount CURZON

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. William Graham)

I understand that the Southborough Committee hopes to present its final report at an early date, but I am unable at this stage to say by what date it will be published.

Viscount CURZON

May we take it that this Report will be expedited as far as possible?

Mr. GRAHAM

Yes, The Noble Lord may take it that the Report will be available soon.

Mr. BETTERTON

Is the publication of the White Paper being expedited?

Mr. GRAHAM

Yes, that was my in formation, and that was what I intended to convey to the Noble Lord in my reply.
