§ Mr. SNOWDEN(by Private Notice) asked the Home Secretary whether he has received the Report of the Tribunal appointed to inquire into the interrogation by the police of Miss Savidge, and can he state when it will be made available to Members?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSYes, Sir. I received this morning two Reports, one signed by Sir John Eldon Bankes and my hon. Friend the Member for Cambridge University (Mr. Withers) and the other signed by the hon. Member for the Keighley Division of the West Biding (Mr. Lees-Smith). I hope that these Reports will be available for hon. Members to read over the week-end.
§ Mr. SNOWDENMay I address the next question to the Prime Minister? I suppose opportunity will be given before the end of the Session for a Parliamentary discussion of these Reports.
§ The PRIME MINISTERThere are a number of days on which it would be quite possible to ask for a discussion.
§ Mr. W. THORNEHas the right hon. Gentleman seen reports in the newspapers giving extracts from the two Reports in question, and can he say how these Reports have leaked out before Members of Parliament get them?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am afraid that I was not aware of that, and I cannot say.
