§ 25. Mr. William Brownasked the Secretary of State for War whether the report of the Cozens-Hardy Committee on the employment of military personnel on civilian duties in War Department establishments will be made available to Members of the House?
§ Sir J. GriggThe Committee is essentially a Departmental Committee, and I should not propose to publish any reports it may render. Perhaps I may add that the hon. Member's Question does not accurately represent the Committee's terms of reference, which are, in short, "to examine the methods of staffing certain mixed military establishments."
§ Mr. BrownIf the report itself cannot be made available to us, will the Minister take an opportunity at a later stage of telling us what action was taken?
§ Sir J. GriggI will certainly consider that.
