§ Dr. BurginI will bring the suggestion made by my hon. and gallant Friend to the notice of my right hon. Friend. At the same time I would point out that in common with other aspects of Defence preparations, much of the work of this Department must necessarily be of a confidential nature. Occasion will no doubt occur from time to time for dealing with the work of the Department in the course of Debate.
