I think the hon. Gentleman knows perfectly well that hon. Members can address Questions to Ministers only on matters for which those Ministers take responsibility, What I have said, and I repeat, is that, so far as Government control is concerned, it is to the machinery of the Capital Issues Committee that one must look. That machinery remains intact. If existing arrangements are found not to be working entirely satisfactorily there is nothing to prevent us making adjustments so far as experience may suggest necessary.
