§ 35. Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Lord President of the Council when the report into the losses suffered by the catering department will be presented to the House.
§ The Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons (Mr. Richard Crossman)I hope that the report will be available to the House in the very near future.
§ Sir Knox CunninghamSurely the House ought to be allowed to see where these losses have been sustained and what chance there is, either by raising prices or other means, to improve the conditions of the staff.
§ Mr. CrossmanOf course the House will have it all made available to it. The Committee felt that we should make a careful study and make some practical recommendations in addition to presenting the report.
§ Mr. RankinCan my right hon. Friend assure us that when complete the report will be presented to the House as a White Paper?
§ Mr. CrossmanThe report will be presented to the House in the normal way.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeDoes the report show the losses incurred by the catering department in the sale of dog food?
