REGIONAL PRODUCTION COMMITTEE.

HC Deb 05 March 1942 vol 378 cc795-6

36. Mr. Hammersley

asked the Minister of Supply who are the members of the committee, appointed under the chairmanship of Sir Walter Citrine, to review and advise on the organisation of production in the regions?

Mr. Peat

I will with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate the names of the members of the committee in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Hammersley

Could my hon. Friend say whether this very important review is to take place through the Regional organisation of the Production Executive or the Ministry of Supply?

Mr. Speaker

I think the hon. Member had better await the names.

Mr. Mander

Will the Parliamentary Secretary be good enough to give the names of the committee, unless there are several hundred of them?

Mr. Speaker

Mr. Sorensen.

Mr. Mander

On a point of Order. Is it in Order, when a Parliamentary Secretary is asked to give information, and there is plenty of time, and the House desires the information, to take no notice?

Mr. Speaker

• Sir Walter Citrine—Chairman.
