§ 7. Mr. Fenner Brockwayasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations when the report of the Commonwealth Economic Committee on mineral development and raw materials will be available.
§ Lord John HopeIt is not yet possible to say precisely when this Report will be available. I understand, however, that the Committee's inquiries have reached an advanced stage and that the work of co-ordinating and bringing up to date the material collected and of drafting a Report is already in hand.
§ Mr. BrockwayWill the hon. Member be able to expedite publication of the Report so that we may have it before us on Friday, 30th November, when one of the hon. Member's supporters has chosen this subject for a debate?
§ Lord John HopeI will certainly see that the hon. Member's constructive suggestion is brought to the attention of those concerned.
