ECONOMY SCHEME
Expenditure in Britain DRASTIC SUGGESTIONS London, Nov. 16. An economy committee of the House of Commons, professing to represent a big section of the Conservative Party, has issued a drastic report demanding reductions of national and local expenditure to the extent of over £lOO million annually. The committee suggests the abolition of housing subsidies, big economies in education, longer hours in the Civil Service, revision of Civil Service pensions, reduction in size of battleships, and the disbandment of Air Force units in Irak and Palestine. It also suggests that the Department of Overseas Trade and the Empire Marketing. Board should be wound up and the Dominions and Colonial Offices reamalgamated.
