§ 50. Mr. M. Philips Priceasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the Report on Water Pollution Research covering 1947 has only just been made available after a delay of 14 months, and the Annual Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories for 1947 did not appear until the end of February this year; and whether he will take steps to expedite the publication of technical and scientific reports of this kind, which lose their value if unduly delayed.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallYes, Sir. I regret the delay caused mainly by printing difficulties which I hope will not recur.
