If it was known on 20th February that Lord Beaverbrook was to proceed to the United States at the request of the Government, why was a statement to that effect not made last Thursday instead of the Prime Minister's statement that he was not sure whether Lord Beaverbrook was so proceeding? May I ask whether Lord Beaverbrook, in the United States or elsewhere, will be under the direct supervision of the Minister of State?
