Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state the annual cost of the Press Departments attached to the various Ministries during or since the War; whether they are now necessary; and whether it is proposed to abolish them as unnecessary in 1209W the near future, considering the large number of officials in these offices of these Ministries who are capable of performing the work now done?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI will communicate with the Departments concerned and inform my hon. Friend of the result as soon as possible.
