§ 47. Rear-Admiral Sir Murray Sueterasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider providing the necessary amount in the forthcoming Estimates to provide for the salary of an under-secretary to assist the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence, and so allow the questions both of co-ordinating supplies and higher administration of the fighting services to be given greater attention?
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Chamberlain)My hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion has been noted, but I am advised that there is at present no need to supplement existing arrangements.
