§ SIR EDWARD WATKINasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he will afford facilities for the early discussion of the appointment of a Select Committee to consider Brewers' Licences?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI observe that the hon. Member has a Notice for Thursday to bring forward a Motion for the appointment of such a Committee. I apprehend that, as it will not come on till after the Orders of the Day are disposed of, there will not be very much opportunity for any full discussion of the subject at that time. I have already informed the hon. Member that I could not, on the part of the Government, assent to the appointment of a Committee; and I am afraid I must tell him that I do not see my way to give him any Government time for the discussion of his Motion.
