§ 11. Mr. Mayhewasked the Secretary of State for War when he will publish the report of the Hutchinson Committee on the future of Woolwich Arsenal; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SoamesI understand that the Woolwich Review Committee expects to present its report to me very soon. I shall be glad to give what information I can as soon as the Committee's recommendations have been considered. I do not expect to publish the report itself.
§ Mr. MayhewWhat procedure does the Minister envisage, when the report comes out, for consultation with all concerned?
§ Mr. SoamesI should like to see the report first and think about it. I have not seen the report yet, but we have a precedent to follow in the Perrott Report which came out in 1953.
