HC Deb 28 July 1952 vol 504 cc83-4W
89. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether the draft report of the Ridley Committee, established in July, 1951, to report upon the wider aspects of our fuel and power economy, is now in the hands of his Department; what is the anticipated publication date; and whether this report will be laid before Parliament in the form of a White Paper, or in what other form.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

I have this morning received the Report of the Ridley Committee on National Fuel Policy, and I should like to congratulate and thank the Committee for having completed its work. The Report will be presented to Parliament in the form of a Command Paper. I understand that it will be available from the printers in about six weeks' time.
