§ 30. Lieut.-Colonel Sir VIVIAN HENDERSONasked the Prime Minister when legislation will be introduced to give effect to the recommendation of the Select Committee on Estimates last year that the functions of the Railway and Canal Commission should be redistributed?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe necessary Bill has been prepared, but I regret that, having regard to the pressure of Parliamentary business, I can hold out no hope of time being available for legislation on this subject during the present session.
§ Sir V. HENDERSONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that something between £7,000 and £8,000 a year is being spent on salaries for this commission, which is practically doing no work?
