§ 8. Mr. C. R. Hobsonasked the Paymaster-General if he has now considered the report made to him by Deloitte, Plender and Griffiths into the affairs of the contracting section of the London Electricity Board; and when the said report will be placed in the Library of the House.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Power (Sir Ian Horobin)No, Sir. Since the inquiry started, the Southampton police have found it necessary to investigate certain transactions in this connection. I cannot, therefore, say when the report will be made available to Parliament.
§ Mr. HobsonWhile thanking the hon. Gentleman for that reply, may I take it that, irrespective of the inquiries now proceeding, the report will be made available to hon. Members at the earliest possible moment?
§ Sir I. HorobinYes, Sir.
