HC Deb 22 March 1923 vol 161 c2794W
Mr. F. GRAY

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the fact that the work of the Development Commission is duplicated by Ministerial Departments, with consequent waste and loss of efficiency; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made into the matter?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER:

After investigation last autumn by a Sub-committee of the Cabinet on Economy, it was decided that the existing system should be continued. I am not prepared to institute another inquiry.
