HC Deb 11 May 1931 vol 252 cc821-2
79. Mr. BOWEN

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when the report of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service will be available?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Pethick-Lawrence)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to a similar question on 27th April put by the hon. Member for Devonport (Mr. Hore-Belisha).

Mr. BOWEN

Did not my hon. Friend, in the answer to which he has referred, say that the report was expected in a few months; and am I to understand that "a few months" means a few months from April, or a few months from now?
