HC Deb 09 December 1902 vol 116 c458
MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)

I desire to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the right hon. Gentleman, in view of the new facts, doubts, and differences which have arisen as to the Sugar Convention, will consider if he cannot arrange for another debate on it in this House, before the Convention is ratified.

MR. A.J. BALFOUR

I have no ground for thinking that a debate would serve the purpose of clearing up the points to which the hon. Member wishes to direct attention. The hon. Gentleman knows the condition of public business, and he can surely hardly press theGovernment further on the matter.
