HC Deb 21 December 1944 vol 406 c1931
43. Mr. Reakes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has now considered the transcript of the observations made by the Master of the Rolls when dismissing the appeal of the Bethnal Green Corporation against damages awarded against them in a lower court in connection with the air-raid shelter; and whether he is in a position to make a statement.

Mr. Morrison

I have not yet received the transcript of the judgment delivered by the Master of the Rolls, and I do not therefore feel able to make a statement.

Mr. Reakes

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, in view of the fact that it is over a week since I put that Question down, there has not been ample time to get the transcript of the observations of the Master of the Rolls in this case?

Mr. Morrison

Well, I have not got it, and therefore I think it would be wrong if I should pass any comment on what has been said by the learned judge until it is available.
