HC Deb 27 February 1930 vol 235 c2416
77. Mr. SHAKESPEARE

asked the Minister of Health what action he proposes to take in consequence of the recent inquiry into test work?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am not yet in a position to add anything to my previous replies on this subject.

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any date when he will be able to make a decision, seeing that these men have waited for eight months?

Sir K. WOOD

Why has the right hon. Gentleman inquired into this matter, for he has made a definite statement of his opinion for many months?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Why did the right hon. Gentleman appoint this committee; was it only for the purpose of giving him an excuse for delay?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I never said that I appointed a committee.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

It is appointed.
