Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury 1269W whether he will furnish a return of all Royal Commissions and committees of inquiry which are still in being, together with their terms of reference; the date of their appointment; the approximate date on which their report may be expected; and their cost to date?
§ Major ELLIOTI am arranging to circulate an up-to-date table on the lines of that circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT on 30th April last in reply to a similar question. Where possible, this table will indicate the probable date of reporting.I regret that it is not possible without a disproportionate amount of labour to give the total cost to date of committees still in being.
