HC Deb 14 July 1884 vol 290 c931
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

May I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Has any day been fixed by the Plenipotentiaries to resume the business of the Conference?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)

The "Commission," consisting of the Financial Experts of the several Powers, over whose deliberations I have been requested to preside, is still sitting; and until the business which that Commission has in hand is completed, it will be impossible to say when the Conference will meet.

SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

I will ask the Question again on Thursday. I will also ask the Prime Minister, whether it is intended to keep Parliament sitting until the Conference has concluded its labours?

[No reply was given.]
