§ 29. Squadron-Leader Donnerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will publish the report, or reports, of the British Missions on the condition of, and situation in, the British-owned oilfields in Rumania.
§ Mr. BevinI have not received a complete report but a number of despatches. I do not think any useful purpose would be served by publication.
§ Squadron-Leader DonnerIs the House to understand from that answer that reports will not be published?
§ Mr. BevinNo, Sir. One is not to understand that, but it would be most unfortunate if I began publishing des patches without waiting for a complete report.
