HC Deb 24 March 1927 vol 204 c552
46. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the ineffectiveness of the present systems of Parliamentary control over expenditure, he will consider the appointment of a Select Committee for the purpose of devising a more satisfactory method of control?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir. I think the present machinery, including that of the Estimates Committee, provides ample opportunity for the exercising of control over expenditure, if hon. Members desire to use it.
