§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN (Birmingham, W.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will lay upon the Table a Copy of the Instructions to Sir Gerald Portal?
§ SIR E. GREYThe full instructions are included among Papers which were laid on the Table on Tuesday, and will be distributed on Monday.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINWould it be convenient to say whether those instructions will contain any reference to the provisions which may have to be made for the peace of the country in the interval between the evacuation of the East Africa Company and the final decision of the Government?
§ SIR E. GREYI should say that the question of what is an adequate provision would be rather a matter of opinion.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINI did not say adequate. I said "reference to any provision."
§ SIR E. GREYThe Papers will be distributed on Monday, and it would be better for the right hon. Gentleman to form his own opinion then.
