§ Mr. CLANCYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, if he is not prepared to ask for the views of individual members of the Development Commission on any particular matter with which they have to deal, they are themselves equally unwilling to state whether their decisions are unanimous or not?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI have no doubt that the reasons which render me unwilling to ask for the views of individual members of the Development Commission in any particular case would render the Commission equally unwilling to reply to such inquiries.
§ Mr. CLANCYasked whether the Development Commissioners keep minutes of the proceedings at their meetings; if 1408W so, whether these minutes may be inspected by persons interested in any matter decided by them; and whether, when any question of allocating the funds at their disposal is to be decided, all the members of the Commission are invited to be present?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe answer to the first and last parts of the question is in the affirmative. The minutes of the Development Commissioners' proceedings, like other Departmental papers, are confidential documents.
