§ Sir R. Gowerasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware of the inconvenience to Members because the Report of the Catering Wages Corn-mission on Rehabilitation of the Catering Industry cannot be obtained at the Vote Office or free of charge at the Sale Office and can only be obtained free by Members by despatching a green form to the head Stationery Office; and whether, as many Members belonging to the Defence Areas Committee require this Report for discussion at their next meeting, he will make it available, free of charge, at this House without delay.
§ Mr. PeakeI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by my right1840W hon. Friend the Minister of Labour on 1st March. This Report has been available to Members since it was published on 19th February and only two applications have so far been made to the Stationery Office, which is the normal channel for the free supply to Members of reports in the non-Parliamentary series. In view of the special circumstances mentioned by the hon. Member I have arranged for copies to be available at the Vote Office.
