§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he has 720W considered the resolution of the Corporation of Greenock calling for an inquiry into the administration of the Government services, a copy of which has been transmitted to him by the hon. Member for Greenock; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Captain CrookshankI have seen the resolution. If the Greenock Corporation have in mind some specific suggestion for securing economy, I shall be grateful if they will bring it to the notice of the Department concerned. In view of the stringent instructions as to economy issued to all Departments and of the appointment of the Select Committee on National Expenditure, I do not consider that any further general measure is called for at present.
