§ MR. E. JENKINSasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he is now prepared to name a day for the discussion of the Motion relating to the command in South Africa? He had been unable by the ordinary methods to obtain an opportunity for the discussion of the Motion, and as the right hon. and gallant Gentleman the Secretary of State for War had relegated his statement on the command in South Africa to the debate upon the Motion which he (Mr. Jenkins) desired to bring forward, he thought it would be but just if the Chancellor of the Exchequer were to give him a day.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,in reply, said, he was sorry that he could not propose at that moment to give a day to the hon. Member. He would not finally answer the Question, however, until he had conferred with his right hon. and gallant Friend the Secretary of State for War.
