HC Deb 13 July 1927 vol 208 c2140
48. Colonel GRETTON (for Mr. STEWART SANDEMAN)

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the permanent heads of departments of the Civil Service meet at regular intervals; and, if so, whether minutes are kept of these meetings?

Mr. McNEILL

No, Sir.

Captain GARRO-J0NES

If these minutes were published, would it not involve His Majesty's Ministers in proceedings for libel?

Mr. McNEILL

There are no minutes, because there are no meetings.
