§ MR. DALZIELI desire to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, with reference to the proposal now before the House for an allowance to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, whether the right hon. Gentleman is correctly reported in "Hansard" as having 1176 stated, in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy on the 30th of August last, that there was no intention on the part of the Government to make any proposal of this kind.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYYes, Sir, it is perfectly accurately reported. There is no concealment about the matter. We were the first to state in connection with it that we have altered our opinion. Whether our new opinion is justified or not I am afraid we must wait for the Debate in the House to show. ["Hear, hear!"]
