§ 1. Mr. LUNNasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, whether any discussions have taken place between the Dominions Office and the members of the Commission of Government in Newfoundland, now in this country, regarding the bad economic conditions in the island; and when another report on the condition of the people and the steps being taken to deal with them is to be published?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Douglas Hacking)My right hon. Friend has seen the members of the Commission of Government now in this country and has discussed with them the effect on the economic position of the island of the recent set-back in the fishing industry. He will consult the Governor as to the possibilities of issuing shortly a further Command Paper containing a report on the local situation.
§ Mr. LUNNMay we have a copy of this report before the House resumes seeing that it is six months since we had one?
§ Mr. HACKINGI am afraid I cannot promise that, but there will be no undue delay.
