§ Lieut.-Colonel POWNALLasked the Lord Privy Seal, whether he has yet come to any decision with regard to the setting up of a committee to investigate the present methods of financial control exercised by the House of Commons, with a view to considering what improvements can be made?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir. I was not indeed much encouraged by the reception which my suggestion met with in the House, but a more conclusive reason for my inactivity has been that I have been unable to find time to consider or discuss it further.
