§ 54. Sir H. Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in which Departments the Treasury investigation section have applied their work; and in which Departments they have been unable to complete their work because of difficulties arising in the Department?
§ Sir K. WoodThe Treasury investigating section has made investigations in 13 of the principal Departments. Investigations of amore limited scope have been made in the case of a number of other Departments. In two cases (a section of the Ministry of Shipping where reorganisation was in progress, and a section of the Ministry of Supply where inter-Departmental discussion was required) the work of the investigating section, has not been completed: arrangements have now been made for it to proceed.
Mr. J. J. DavidsonCould the Chancellor define exactly what he means by investigations of a limited scope?
§ Sir K. WoodI should like to think that over very carefully.
