HC Deb 26 February 1940 vol 357 c1721
13. Mr. Ede

asked the Minister of Health when he received the report of the committee appointed to inquire into possible hardship under the existing rating and valuation law; and when he proposes to publish it?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Miss Horsbrugh)

The report was received in August last, and publication was deferred for the reasons indicated in the reply which my right hon. Friend gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Moss Side (Mr. Duckworth) on 14th November last. My right hon. Friend will, however, give the matter further consideration and he would be glad if the hon. Member would confer with him in regard to it.
