COMMITTEE ON INTERMEDIARIES (RECOMMENDATIONS)

HC Deb 04 May 1950 vol 474 cc1893-4

46. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Prime Minister if he will state in some detail the steps that have been taken to implement the recommendations contained in the Report of the Committee on Intermediaries, Command Paper No. 7904.

Mr. H. Morrison

I have been asked to reply. Departments have been instructed to give effect to the recommendations of this Committee. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister sees no useful purpose in giving a detailed account of the steps taken in each Department to carry out these instructions.

Sir W. Smithers

Will the right hon. Gentleman ask the Prime Minister if he is aware that under the Socialist policy of State control and centralised administration, bribery and corruption is inevitable, and that the passing of unreasonable laws compels honest citizens to be criminals?

Mr. Speaker

Imputations and insinuations are out of Order.
