§ MR. M'LARENasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he can give the House any further information as to the mission of the Right honourable Member for Portsmouth; and, whether he will lay the terms of his instructions upon the Table?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI am afraid that I have nothing to state to the House on this subject. The matter is not yet settled.
§ MR. M'LARENWill the right hon. Gentleman undertake to lay the terms of the Instructions to the right hon. Gentleman upon the Table?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI could not make any promise on this subject without first communicating with my noble Friend the Prime Minister. I have not had the opportunity of doing so, as the Question only appeared on the Paper to-day.
