Finance and Trade Statistics (Committee) (Hansard, 27 February 1951)

§ 12. Mr. Grimond
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the Committee presently investigating the financial relationship between England and Scotland is likely to complete its report.

§ Miss Herbison
The Committee on Scottish Financial and Trade Statistics has been meeting regularly and I understand that it is making good progress. I am not yet able to say when its report will be ready.

§ Mr. Grimond
Is there any hope that we may have the report before the Budget may I ask?

§ Miss Herbison
None at all.

§ Colonel Gomme-Duncan
Has there been any change in the personnel of this committee, since other appointments have more recently been made?

§ Miss Herbison
That is another question.

§ Sir Herbert Williams
Can the hon. Lady assure the House that the committee will leave no stone unturned?
