HC Deb 17 February 1891 vol 350 cc846-7
MR. ATKINSON

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can arrange for Questions to be printed with the replies to them, and awaiting the arrival of Members at the House each day, so saving the time of the Members for other business?

MR. W. H. SMITH

However desirable it may be that the time occupied by Questions and Answers in the House should be economised I am not prepared to propose to the House that the Standing Orders should be altered, as any proposal of the kind suggested would involve a discussion leading to a considerable expenditure of time.
