HC Deb 21 April 1931 vol 251 cc796-7
45. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can now state when the Report of the Committee on Finance and Industry will be presented?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I would refer the right hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Bethnal Green (Major Nathan) on 16th April.

Sir K. WOOD

Is there any possibility of having this report within the next two or three weeks.

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I think, if the right hon. Gentleman will read what I said recently in a Debate on the Motion for Adjournment, he will see what is the position. I do not think there is any possibility of having it in the course of a fortnight or three weeks.
