§ 51. Sir K. WOODasked the Minister of Health if the Cabinet Committee who are considering proposals in connection with social insurance have yet arrived at any conclusions?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have nothing to add to the reply which I gave to the right hon. Gentleman on the same subject on 23rd January.
§ Sir K. WOODWhat is this Committee doing? What is the reason? Is it the Chancellor of the Exchequer who is stopping this Committee from proceeding with its labours?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe right hon. Gentleman, in spite of his Front Bench position, is acting with all the irresponsibility of a back bencher.
Earl WINTERTONMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether one side of ministerial responsibility is not to give a plain answer to a plain question?
