HC Deb 07 November 1939 vol 353 c68W
Colonel Baldwin-Webb

asked the Prime Minister whether, with a view to enlightening Members of Parliament, the public, and the Civil Service, he will arrange for the issue at the earliest possible opportunity of a concise guide as to the precise functions, responsibilities and objects of the various new Ministries and Departments which have been established since the war began; and whether, in particular, he will arrange that such guide makes it clear where the responsibilities of these Departments begin and end, especially in relation to one another and to the Departments already in existence before the war?

The Prime Minister

I will give this matter my consideration.
