HC Deb 03 June 1902 vol 108 c1284
CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will postpone taking the Vote for the Board of Trade until the Return of the hours worked by railway servants, promised in consequence of the Resolution of this House of 25th February last, has been presented and circulated.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I do not know when the Return in question is likely to be in the hands of Members, so that I can give no pledge on the subject. I will keep the Question in mind in fixing the date for the Board of Trade Vote.

MR. JOHN ELLIS

Will the right hon. Gentleman kindly press this Return forward, as it is very important in view of the discussion which took place.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I imagine that the date depends largely on how soon the particulars can be embodied in a Return.
