§ MR. PAULTON (Durham, Bishop Auckland)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can give any information as to when the Royal Commission on Mining Royalties expect to issue their Report?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have inquired into this matter, and I learn from the Secretary to the Commission that he cannot fix any date for certain upon which they expect to issue their Report; but it is not likely to be issued before July.
§ MR. PAULTONCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Commission will take any further evidence?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have not been able to make inquiries on that subject, but I shall be very glad to do so if the hon. Gentleman desires it.
