HC Deb 20 February 1930 vol 235 c1571
49. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Prime Minister whether the Economic Advisory Council has met; and, if so, whether it intends from time to time to make any announcement regarding the subjects it has under consideration?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Economic Advisory Council has met. Its proceedings are private, and its conclusions will be treated as confidential, except in such circumstances as the Government may decide otherwise.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Does not the right hon. Gentleman think, in view of the questions which have been put to him already to-day, that this is a very suitable matter on which to have a Debate in this House as soon as possible?

The PRIME MINISTER

The opportunity will very soon arise, and we shall welcome the Debate.
