HC Deb 29 April 1902 vol 107 cc171-2
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government will reconsider their decision regarding the appointment of a Minister of Commerce.

† See preceding Volume, p. 1, 207.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir; I have no change of policy to announce to the hon. Gentleman.

MR. DAVID THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)

Will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to put the Board of Trade Vote down for an early day?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

It is not for me to say, but I doubt whether this question could be raised on that Estimate.
