HC Deb 09 June 1937 vol 324 c1759
66. Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether consideration has been given to reviving the National Fuel and Power Committee; and, if so, what decision has been arrived at?

Captain Wallace

The questions which arise from time to time in relation to fuel and power are so varied that it has been found more appropriate to set up specially constituted committees to deal with them; and my right hon. Friend sees no reason at present for reviving the National Fuel and Power Committee.

Mr. J. J. Davidson

Can the hon. and gallant Gentleman inform the House how many committees have been set up with regard to this question and how many reports have been received by his Department?

Captain Wallace

Not without notice. I suggest that the hon. Gentleman puts the question down.
