HC Deb 25 June 1940 vol 362 cc291-2
41. Mr. Woods

asked the Prime Minister whether he will move to set up a Committee of this House to examine the many suggestions for the more effective prosecution of the war that are being made, the Committee to have direct access to and consultations with technical advisers concerning any suggestions regarded as of practical value?

The Lord Privy Seal (Mr. Attlee)

No, Sir. I do not think it is necessary to set up a Committee such as is suggested by my hon. Friend. Any suggestions which may be put forward for the more effective prosecution of the war receive the most careful consideration of the Ministers concerned.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

If the right hon. Gentleman cannot set up this Committee, will he set up a Committee to see that these suggestions are not pigeon-holed?
