HC Deb 31 July 1930 vol 242 c688
35. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes, before the end of the Session, to make a statement concerning the progress of the committee which is inquiring into the extension and co-ordination of insurance schemes?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I would refer the right hon. Member to the reply which I gave him on 23rd January last on the same subject.

Sir K. WOOD

Inasmuch as this committee has now been sitting for many months, is the right hon. Gentleman unable to make any statement as to the progress that has been made, or what has been done, or whether anything has been done?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The right hon. Gentleman knows perfectly well that it is not the custom of this House to report the Progress of committees.

Sir K. WOOD

Is not this a pure evasion—a smoke screen?
