HC Deb 17 March 1931 vol 249 cc1855-6
45. Mr. HACKING

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any buildings at present occupied by Government Departments will be surrendered, and/or whether there will be any redistribution of Government Departments, as a result of the recommendations of the Howard Frank Committee?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The report of the Committee is still under consideration.

Mr. HACKING

Will the hon. Member publish the report, or, if not the report, the recommendations of this Committee?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I am afraid that the report contains confidential matter which it is not in the public interest to publish.

Mr. HACKING

Will the hon. Gentleman publish the recommendations of the Committee?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I will look into that point, hut the report itself will not be published.
