HC Deb 09 February 1937 vol 320 c212
45. Mr. Short

asked the Prime Minister the number of civil servants engaged in the investigations concerning the dismissal of dockyard workers; the Departments to which they are or were attached; the number of hours expended in the investigation; the total expenditure involved; and upon which Vote will the expenditure be borne?

The Prime Minister (Mr. Baldwin)

I do not think it would be practicable—nor would it serve any useful purpose—to work out the details for which the hon. Member asks.
