HC Deb 05 August 1903 vol 126 cc1590-1
MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can state the terms of the Resolution with regard to the Gunard agreement which he proposes to move.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I cannot at this moment.

MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

I assume that the Resolution will be simply one of approval.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I will consider its exact form.

MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S.)

Will the agreement with the American syndicate also be laid on the Table of the House, and, if so. when?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

My hon. friend the President of the Board of Trade thinks it will be available to-night at the Vote Office. I think the two agreements ought to be discussed together; they form part really of one transaction.
