§ MR. PIRIE (Aberdeen, N.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether he will now consider the advisability of instituting, in accordance with the promise made some time ago, a general inquiry into the administration of the various Departments responsible for the conduct of the war.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.I have nothing really to add to the many answers which I have given on this subject. The position remains, as far as I know, unchanged from what it was this time last year.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)The war was over then.
