HC Deb 29 July 1897 vol 51 c1483
Mr. JEFFREYS

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is aware that a considerable time has elapsed since the Report of the Royal Commission upon Agricultural Depression was laid upon the Table; when will it be delivered to hon. Members and the public; and what is the reason of the delay in its publication; and, whether, in view of the great desire to learn the conclusions of the Commissioners, he will take measures to insure its immediate publication?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)

The Report of the Royal Commission on Agricultural Depression is a lengthened one. It will be issued by the printer on August 4, and the appendices, etc., on August 10.
