46. Mr. Craik Hendersonasked the Prime Minister whether he has considered the Special Report from the Select Committee on Statutory Rules and Orders; and whether it is intended to give effect to these recommendations, including the suggested amendment of the Rules Publication Act, 1893.
§ Mr. EdenCareful consideration is being given to the Report, but it is too soon to say what conclusions are likely to be reached.
Mr. HendersonIs my right hon. Friend able to say anything about the Rules Publication Act, to which the Home Secretary has promised to bring in an amending Bill?
§ Mr. EdenI am afraid not at present because I understand that this proposal may involve legislation.
§ Sir H. WilliamsHas my right hon. Friend forgotten the definite promise which the Home Secretary gave us when he had that slip-up last summer?
