HC Deb 06 April 1891 vol 351 c1814
MR. E. ROBERTSON (Dundee)

I beg to ask when the names of the Labour Com missioners will be announced, together with the terms of Reference?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

I hope to make a statement as to the formation of the Labour Commission during the course of this week. But it is first of all necessary to submit all the Papers to Her Majesty, and that will cause some delay.

MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

Is it true, as stated in the newspapers, that Mr. Davitt's name has been refused by Her Majesty's Government?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

It is not usual to make a statement with regard to any particular name until it is possible to make a complete statement to the House.
