HC Deb 20 January 1931 vol 247 c25
44. Major NATHAN

asked the Prime Minister if it is proposed to lay, as a White Paper, a report of the activities of the Economic Advisory Council since its inception?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. BOOTHBY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether it is the practice of the Government to refer different questions to this Committee and ask for reports; and, if so, how many questions have been referred and how many reports have the Government received?

The PRIME MINISTER

Obviously, if the hon. Member is interested in these matters, he should put a question down.

Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

Arising out of the original answer, may I ask the right hon. Gentleman if his Advisory Committee advised the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions (Amendment) Bill?
