§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI did receive the deputation in my official capacity, and I should have been equally willing to receive a deputation from the society represented by the hon. Member had a little longer notice been given me.
§ In answer to a further question,
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHsaid: The Government adhere to the attitude taken up on a former occasion, and will oppose the Resolution.
