§ MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if the promised inquiry into the conduct of the war will be through a Royal Commission or a Special Committee.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.It would be premature to make any statement on the subject at the present moment.
§ MR. ALFRED DAVIESAre we not to have any inquiry? If the right hon. Gentleman would answer that question it would allay my suspicions.
