HC Deb 13 September 1939 vol 351 c653W
Sir R. Acland

asked the Prime Minister whether, for the convenience of Members of this House and others, he will either publish or place in the Library a complete list of all the committees, boards and commissions that have recently been set up to deal with different aspects of the War, including new branches of existing Ministries, stating in each case the names of the leading personnel?

Captain Crookshank

I have been asked to reply. In many cases the desired information has been made public through the medium of the Press or otherwise. The compilation of a comprehensive statement would, however, involve considerable labour, and my right hon. Friend is loath to place such a burden on Government Departments at this juncture.
