§ 6. Mr. MACMILLANasked the Minister of Labour whether he has received any of the reports of the commissioners appointed to investigate conditions in certain distressed areas; whether he intends to publish these reports as and when received; and whether he expects to be able to make a general statement before the House rises for the Autumn Recess?
Mr. STANLEYI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday by the Lord President of the Council to the hon. Member for Spennymoor (Mr. Batey), of which I am sending him a copy.
§ Mr. MACMILLANWill the right hon. Gentleman answer the second part of the question, as to whether he intends to publish these reports when they have been received? I do not think that is covered by the previous reply.
§ Mr. MACMILLANCan the right hon. Gentleman inform the House when the further reports will be received, and whether they will be published?
§ Mr. GEORGE HALLCan the right hon. Gentleman say from which district a report has been received?
