HC Deb 31 March 1938 vol 333 c2171
46. Mr. David Adams

asked the Prime Minister whether the Economic Advisory Council is continuing its labours, and when it last met?

The Prime Minister

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; as regards the second part of the question, the main work of the council is discharged through two standing committees dealing with economic information and scientific research, respectively. There have been two meetings of these committees since the beginning of the year.

Mr. Adams

Is it anticipated that there will be successive meetings?

The Prime Minister

I anticipate that at least the sub-committees will meet from time to time.
