§ MR. J. M. MACLEAN (Cardiff)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India when the Indian Sugar Duty Papers, which were stated a month ago to be in the printer's hands, will be distributed among Members.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI am informed that copies will reach the House this evening.
§ MR. J. M. MACLEANIs the noble Lord in a position to redeem the promise made before Easter that we shall have a day for the discussion of the Papers?
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI made no promise.
§ MR. J. M. MACLEANThe First Lord of the Treasury did.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONWhat I told my honourable friend was that he had better ask the First Lord of the Treasury. I can assure my honourable friend that I should be delighted to discuss the question.
§ MR. J. M. MACLEANWill the noble Lord communicate with the First Lord? He has much more influence with him than I have.
