HC Deb 05 December 1922 vol 159 cc1550-1W
Mr. MIDDLETON

asked the Postmaster-General whether the appointment by his predecessor of a committee to advise him on matters of Post Office policy entails any charge upon public funds; and whether he will consider the question of terminating the services of a committee which has no responsibility to Parliament?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No charge from public funds has yet been incurred, apart from a small expenditure on typewriting. I am reappointing the Advisory Council, which, I would point out, is not an executive body.
