§ 31. Sir Waldron Smithersasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the cost to the taxpayer, to date, of the Tribunal of Inquiry at Church House. Westminster.
§ Sir S. CrippsThe costs so far ascertained amount to approximately £9,000, but not all the items have yet been brought to charge.
§ Sir W. SmithersDoes not the Chancellor realise that this money has been spent to show that certain persons are not fit or fitted to be Ministers of the Crown?
§ Sir S. CrippsI prefer to wait until the report of the Tribunal is made before making comments.
