HC Deb 19 June 1924 vol 174 c2313
46. Viscount CURZON

asked the Prime Minister whether the Committee to investigate the withheld retired pay of naval officers has yet reported; whether it is intended to publish the Report; and whether an opportunity will be given for discussion if desired?

Mr. CLYNES

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, and to the second in the affirmative. It will not be possible to grant special facilities for a discussion on this Report, but the subject could be raised on the Navy Estimates.

Viscount CURZON

Will the right hon. Gentleman give us an idea as to when this Committee is expected to report?

Mr. CLYNES

I could not say as to the precise date.

Major HORE-BELISHA

Could the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Committee has completed its inquiry?

Mr. CLYNES

I am not able to do so.
