HC Deb 08 June 1931 vol 253 c615
46. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether he is now prepared to lay as a White Paper a report of the recommendations of the Economic Advisory Council?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir. The Economic Advisory Council is a body appointed to give confidential advice to His Majesty's Government, and I shall lay no such White Paper.

Sir K. WOOD

Is it possible, in view of the grave circumstances of the time, to acquaint the House with such advice of this committee as he thinks would be suitable?

The PRIME MINISTER

That is only the original question in another form.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the First Lord of the Admiralty quoted something which purported to be advice about wages and Protection? What is he going to do about that?
