The names of those members of Parliament who are to
serve on the Select Committee appointed to investigate the Marconi agreement were announced on Wednesday. They are Mr. Amery, Mr. Booth, Lord Robert Cecil, Mr. G. D. Faber, Mr. Falconer, Mr. Gordon Harvey, Mr. Macmaster, Mr. Mooney, Mr. J. Parker, Mr. Neil Primrose, Mr. W. Redmond, Sir Herbert Roberts, Mr. Harold Smith, Sir Albert Spicer, and Mr. H. Terrell. Sir Albert Spicer is to be the Chairman of the Committee. It is greatly to be hoped that the investiga- tions will be thorough and that the Report will help to maintain the highest standard of delicacy in all matters where there is danger of suspicion being aroused. It is not enough for Ministers to be free from corruption. They must not through carelessness give opportunity for scandal.
