HC Deb 11 December 1929 vol 233 c468
45. Mr. BRACKEN

asked the Prime Minister whether he can state the names of the members of the proposed Economic General Staff?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am at present closely engaged in conferences on the question, and for the moment I am not in a position to make a statement.

Mr. BRACKEN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that under his own signature a year ago he promised to set up this Committee; and is he also aware that his party is badly in need of an economic policy?

The PRIME MINISTER

The economic troubles do not arise by our making.
