HC Deb 20 June 1940 vol 362 c219
48. Mr. E. Smith

asked the Prime Minister whether he will move to appoint a committee and ask that they shall report as expeditiously as possible on how best to organise the whole nation with a view to obtaining the efficiency and results now being obtained from some sections of industry, and that they shall also report on how Parliamentary procedure can be adapted to suit the present needs of the nation?

The Lord Privy Seal (Mr. Attlee)

No, Sir. I do not consider that the appointment of such a committee is practicable.
