§ MR. CHAMBERLAINasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, before any steps are taken to carry out the recommendations of the Report of the Committee on Parliamentary Reporting, he will undertake that an opportunity shall be previously given to this House of expressing an opinion thereon?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, that, as far as he knew, the Committee on Parliamentary Reporting had not yet laid their Report upon the Table—in fact, he believed they had not reported; and he could not, therefore, say what course might be taken with regard to their recommendations. He presumed, however, that any steps they might recommend would be such as would, of necessity, have to come before the House before anything could be done. But, as he had already indicated, he spoke entirely in the dark as to what their Report might be.
§ MR. CHAMBERLAINgave Notice that he would ask a Question on the subject when the Report was prepared.
