Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked (1) the Minister of Reconstruction if he can make any statement as to when the second and third Reports of the Whitley Commission will be issued to Members of the House of Commons; if these Reports have already been issued to any other persons; and, it so, to whom and on what dates; and (2) the Minister of Labour if he can yet make any statement as to when the second and third Reports of the Whitley Commission will be issued to Members of the House of Commons; if these Report have already been issued to any other persons; and, if so, to whom and on what dates?

Dr. ADDISON

As regards the publication of the second and third Reports of the Whitley Committee, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on the 6th March by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the hon. Member for Rotherhithe, in which it was stated that these Reports had been laid on the Table on the previous day and would be in the hands of hon. Members as soon as they could be printed. In reply to the latter part of the question, the Reports have so far been issued only for Departmental use and to members of the Committee.
