asked the Prime Minister whether any evidence, other than the departmental files, was submitted to, or requested by, Mr. Justice Simonds before making his report upon charges in connection with the construction of Militia camps; and whether he is satisfied that the report was sufficiently directed to the subject matter of the Select Committee's Fifth Report in this connection?
