§ 41. Mr. Cocksasked the Minister of Supply whether Sir Alexander Roger and his colleagues on the Tank Board will be given executive powers?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonNo, Sir.
§ Mr. CocksDoes the Minister realise the urgency of cutting through red-tape in this important matter, and will he say what is the position now of the present Director of Tank Production?
§ Mr. MorrisonThat matter is actively under consideration and I am sure my hon. Friend will acquit me of any unwillingness to cut through red-tape whenever necessary, and I can assure him that this not too simple matter is being dealt with with all practical expedition.
