HC Deb 14 November 1912 vol 43 cc2122-3W
Mr. NORMAN CRAIG

asked the Postmaster-General if he will state by whose authority a Blue Book has been issued to Members of the Select Committee to consider the provisional agreement with the Marconi Company and kindred matters; and whether he will lay this Blue Book upon the Table or otherwise make it accessible as a Parliamentary Paper to Members of this House?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Blue Book referred to by the hon. Member was issued by the authority of the Government for the special information of the Select Committee at present considering the contract with the Marconi Company. As many of the documents of which it contains copies are confidential I am not prepared to lay it on the Table of the House as a Parliamentary Paper.
