SECRET SESSION
HOUSE OF COMMONS BRIEF REPORT ISSUED LONDON, 14th December.

A debate occurred on the organisation of supplies for the prosecution of the war.”
An official record of the debate was not kept, and even the daily Parliamentary report which is normally conveyed to His Majesty was withheld. The session lasted for 7A hours, which is the time-limit.
