§ MR. PARKER (Gravesend)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can state when the Foreign Office Vote will be taken.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am afraid it is not in my power to fix a date for taking the Foreign Office Vote. My hon. friend is no doubt aware that, in view of unexpected events, it is usual to take it rather late in the session, so that there may be a general survey of the foreign policy of the country when it is discussed.
