HC Deb 15 December 1925 vol 189 cc1181-2
48. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Prime Minister if, on reviewing the terms of reference of the Estimates Committee, he is prepared to strengthen these terms next Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have again considered this question, but I remain of the opinion I expressed on the 7th instant that the present procedure should be maintained.

Sir J. NALL

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider whether that Committee could be set up quite early next Session with a view to reporting on at least some of the Estimates before they are considered in Committee of Supply?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will consider that.
