The Report has also been published and placed on sale. I shall not be in a position to make any statement upon the subject until I have received and considered the replies.
§ Mr. MORRISONCan the right hon. Gentleman give any indication of when he is likely to be in a position to give the House any further information on this matter?
§ Colonel ASHLEYNo, because it must depend on the time the various bodies take to consider my request for their observations.
§ Mr. MORRISONCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether there is any truth in the statements being made that the Government have decided to introduce the necessary legislation next year?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI know nothing of those statements.
