§ 79. Mr. Winnickasked the Lord President of the Council whether he will refer to the Services Committee a proposal to set up a committee of inquiry to look 131W into the position of the staff working in the House of Commons.
§ Mr. CrossmanNo. The Select Committee on House of Commons (Services) are themselves the correct body to inquire into the position of House of Commons staff. As a result of a recommendation of the Committee to Mr. Speaker, all the Departments of the House have recently been examined by the Organisation and Methods Division of the Treasury and the staff position was fully covered. The Committee are now considering the Treasury report.
