§ Mr. HUTTONasked the Prime Minister whether the time has now arrived for the appointment of a Commission or Committee to inquire into the possible application of methods of economy in the administration of the great Departments in the government of the country?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not satisfied, having regard to the difficulties of such an inquiry and the extent of its scope, if its results are to be adequate and fruitful, that it is expedient in existing circumstances to embark upon it.
