§ 22. Sir H. Williamsasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will now make a further statement about the expenditure on the offices of the South-Eastern Gas Board in Croydon.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydI informed my hon. Friend on 10th March that I had referred this matter to the Director of Public Prosecutions. I have now heard from the Director that, in his opinion, there is no ground to warrant prosecution or for suggesting that anyone concerned with the work done at the Board's headquarters was not acting in good faith, or that this work was not substantially in accordance with the specifications that were approved.
