§ 39. Mr. Thorneasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport, whether he proposes to put in the Vote Office the report of Mr. Frank Pick?
§ Mr. ThorneWhy not?
§ Colonel LlewellinMr. Frank Pick was employed as a member of the Department and is still being employer] as such, and it is unusual when a return is made within the Department to publish it. That is the main reason why it is not published.
§ Mr. ThorneSurely the right hon. and gallant Member must know that Members of this House are very much interested in the waterways of this country?
§ Colonel LlewellinYes, and quite rightly so. We are carrying out a substantial part of the recommendations and Mr. Pick is helping us to do it, and I shall be delighted on a future occasion to explain what it is that we are doing.
§ Mr. ThorneWhat good will the report be if it is tucked away in your Department and nobody can see it?
