HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 c583W
Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will state the number of Royal Commissions and committees of inquiry set up by the late Government; the number that reported; and the approximate expenditure incurred?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The information desired by my hon. Friend is not available in the Treasury, and could not be obtained without the expenditure of considerable time and labour.
