§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSI beg to give Notice that on Thursday I shall ask the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he has seen the following passage in Mr. Burns' speech in Hyde Park yesterday at a meeting of the Social Democratic Federation:—
You are told by Mr. Chamberlain that the day has come when property should pay ransom to those from whom property has been stolen;and, whether the quotation is correct, and conveys the views expressed by the right hon. Gentleman?
§ THE PRESIDENT (Mr. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN)I will spare the hon. Member the trouble of putting the Question down. The quotation is not correct.
