HC Deb 22 July 1898 vol 62 c845
MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government will introduce or will give facilities for the passage during the present Session of an uncontentious Bill having for its sole object the conferring upon the Trustees of the British Museum a discretionary power to return certain Irish gold ornaments now in their custody to the National Museum in Dublin?

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

My honourable Friend has probably gathered from my answer yesterday that I do not think this a practicable method of dealing with the question.
