MR. FENWICK (Northumberland, Wansbech)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether the Royal Commission on Royalty Rents has been finally constituted; and, whether he can state when it is likely to enter upon the discharge of its duties?
§ MR. OLDROYD (Dewsbury)May I also ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he has received any representations from colliery owners and workmen in the Midland districts complaining of the non-representation of their interests on the Commission?
§ * MR. W. H. SMITHThe Commission has been constituted, and includes some representatives of the Midland districts, which it was suggested were not sufficiently represented. The Commission will be gazetted in the course of a day or two.
