§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI beg to give Notice that it is my intention, on the earliest possible day, to make a Motion in this House for a grant in aid of the sufferers in the Rhodope district. I believe that the proper course to take would be to give Notice that I will on Monday next move that on the following day the House will resolve itself into Committee to consider the Resolution which I shall place on the Paper, if possible, to-night, or, if not, on Monday.
§ Afterwards—
§ MR. ANDERSONAs the extraordinary announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been received with silence by the front Opposition Bench, I beg to give Notice that, when the right hon. Gentleman brings forward that proposal I shall move the following Amendment:—
That in the face of the wide-spread distress prevailing in our own country, and likely greatly to increase during this winter, it is not expedient to take the money of British taxpayers for relieving the distress in the Rhodope districts; and that such extraneous benevolence should be left to voluntary effort.
