43. Sir ASSHETON POWNALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the committee set up to consider questions in connection with co-operative societies was set up; when it held its first meeting; and how many meetings it has held to date?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The committee was set up on the 12th May, 1932. It held its first meeting on the 7th June and has held six meetings since that date. I understand that the evidence has been concluded, and that the committee is now engaged in considering its report.
