§ MR. COGHILL (Stoke-upon-Trent)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the burdens placed on the nation by the prolongation of the war in South Africa, he proposes to make any reduction in the sums that are paid, partly for fees and partly for salary, to the Attorney and Solicitor General.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.No, Sir, I do not contemplate making any such proposal.
