HC Deb 13 December 1922 vol 159 c2953W
Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the inquiry which he has stated will be made into the working of the State Printing Works at Harrow can be set up immediately, so that, if the inquiry results in a recommendation to close the works, this decision may be given effect to at the end of the experimental period in June, 1923?

Mr. BALDWIN

For the purposes of the inquiry which will be made into the working of the State Printing Works at Harrow, it will be necessary to have the complete accounts for the financial year ending 31st March, 1923. As soon as those accounts are ready, the inquiry can be set up, but it will be probably several weeks after the end of the financial year before the complete accounts are available.
