HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 c800W
Mr. E. Smith

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will explain the state of affairs dealt with in the Ninth Report from the Select Committee on National Expenditure and make a statement on what action is to be taken on the report?

Sir J. Reith

Immediate consideration was given to the report. I am not yet in a position to make a statement about it, as there are some points which the Ministry wishes to discuss with the Committee.
