§ Mr. SCURRasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the Report of Lord Meston's Committee on Exchequer contributions and grants-in-aid has yet been received; and, if not, whether it is proposed to publish the evidence given to the Committee?
§ Mr. RONALD McNEILLThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. I understand that the Com 1861W mittee proceeded on the assumption that notes of the evidence taken would not be published, and these are not in a form suitable for publication.
