§ 35. Mr. KELLYasked the President of the Board of Trade what action has been taken on the report of the investigation into the work of the Enemy Debts Department; and if such report is now available to Members of this House?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMI would refer my hon. Friend to the replies I gave him on this subject on the 16th and 25th July last.
§ Mr. KELLYIn view of the anxiety with regard to the conduct of this Department, can the right hon. Gentleman assure us that this report will be available to Members of the House?
§ Mr. GRAHAMNo. I have already replied to my hon. Friend that this is an inter-departmental report or a departmental report which is not made public under normal conditions. All the facts of the matter which he has in mind are before me, but I could not promise to-day to publish the report.
§ Mr. KELLYIn view of the consideration of those matters which the right hon. Gentleman has in hand at the present time, are we likely to have a report from him as to what he does with the members of the staff?
§ Mr. GRAHAMThat raises a matter on which I cannot possibly make any statement to the House this afternoon.
