HC Deb 07 June 1934 vol 290 cc1092-3W
Mr. SHAW

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the widespread interest in the inquiry being conducted by Sir Arthur Rose into conditions in the distressed and derelict areas of Scotland, he can state what arrangements have been made to make public the progress of this work?

Sir H. BETTERTON

For the reasons which I gave to the hon. Member for Chester-le-Street (Mr. Lawson) in answer to a supplementary question on 19th April, it is not intended to publish a report of the result of the investigation, nor can I properly make public the progress of Sir Arthur Rose's work.
