HC Deb 05 June 1890 vol 345 c50
MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary for India whether, the War Office having refused to submit to arbitration the question of prices for warlike stores, it is proposed to take any steps to obtain a decision of this House on a question which has now been pending for many years between the War Office and the Government of India?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Sir J. GORST,) Chatham

I do not believe it is the intention of my noble Friend the Secretary of State for India to seek the assistance of the House of Commons in settling this matter.

MR. BRADLAUGH

In consequence of the right hon. Gentleman's answer, I beg to give notice to the Secretary of State for War that I shall raise the question on the Army Estimates.
