§ CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can state when the War 300 Office Vote will be taken, and whether an opportunity will be afforded for full discussion of this Vote, seeing the important changes recommended in the Report of the recent Committee.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI cannot give any pledge such as the hon. Gentleman requires. I may remind him and the House that the Committee to which he refers was not a Committee appointed by this House, but a Committee appointed by my right hon. friend; and I venture to think that, until my right hon. friend has had an opportunity of considering the Report and how far it seems to him that its recommendations should be carried into effect, we ought not to have a discussion in this House.
