HC Deb 04 August 1877 vol 236 cc422-3
MR. J. COWEN

I wish to put a Question to the Leader of the House in regard to a matter which seriously affects the working classes in this country. I desire to ask the right hon. Gentleman, Whether it would not be possible to obtain through Her Majesty's Representatives such official and impartial Reports of the proceedings connected with the railway strike in America as would during the Recess afford useful information on the subject to employers of labour and the working classes in this country, who are directly and indirectly affected by those proceedings.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

I am not able to give an answer to the Question of the hon. Member at present: but if he will give Notice of the Question I will see whether I cannot do so on Monday.
