HC Deb 02 March 1882 vol 266 c1946
COLONEL BARNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether the Government are willing that a Select Committee should be appointed to consider the collection of Corn Returns?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

Sir, I answered the same Question last year, and explained why the Government did not think it expedient to appoint such a Committee. Nothing has occured since then to change their opinion.
