§ 41. Mr. Albuasked the Minister of Supply whether the committee appointed by himself and the First Lord of the Admiralty to inquire into the duplication of inspection in Royal ordnance factories has yet reported.
§ Mr. SandysNo, Sir.
§ Mr. AlbuCan the right hon. Gentleman say when he is likely to receive the report? In view of the serious waste of public money, as reported by the Estimates Committee, arising out of this duplication, might I ask whether he is receiving the full co-operation of the First Lord of the Admiralty?
§ Mr. SandysI can certainly give the hon. Member that assurance. The subject is, of course, complex. The committee tell me that they hope to complete their report by the end of July.
