HC Deb 20 March 1922 vol 152 c62W
Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked 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. CHAMBERLAIN

No, 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.
