Sir E. STOCKTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can now state the name of the secretary of the Anderson Committee; what will be its procedure; whether it will sit in public; whether witnesses will be heard, and in that case whether evidence will be invited or considered if offered and thought to be desirable; and whether it is anticipated that its work will be concluded this year?
