§ 23. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Minister of Labour whether the Government are yet in a position to make a further announcement with regard to the relief of the derelict areas?
§ Mr. BATEYWhen does the Parliamentary Secretary expect to be in a position to make a statement; and is it the intention of the Government to hurry up the commissioners' reports, so that the House can debate the matter before the Summer Recess?
§ Mr. HUDSONThe reports have not yet been received, and it is obviously undesirable that the investigation should be unduly hurried.
§ Mr. BATEYCan the hon. Gentleman say when it is expected that the reports will be received, so that we can debate them?
§ Mr. HUDSONWhen the investigation is completed.
