HC Deb 11 November 1948 vol 457 cc206-7W
54. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the scope of the recently announced inquiry into the Government's Information Services; and whether witnesses may give evidence on application or only upon invitation.

Sir S. Cripps

The Committee has been set up to examine the cost of the Government's Home Information Services and to make recommendations as to any direction in which economies may be desirable or the organisation may be improved. The selection of witnesses is a matter for the Committee, but I am sure that the Committee would consider carefully any applications to give evidence.
