HC Deb 17 July 1930 vol 241 cc1496-7W
Sir G. HAMILTON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when the next report of the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors will be published; and is he aware that it is three years since the last report was published?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors submitted its fifth report on 31st December, 1927, and the question of the submission of a further report is a matter for the Commission. I have no doubt that, in due course, a further report will be received. I understand that since 1st January, 1928, there have been only a few cases with which the Commission have been called upon to deal.
