HC Deb 16 July 1903 vol 125 cc869-70
MR. PIRIE (Aberdeen, N.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, seeing that it is practically two months since the Royal Commission on the War completed taking evidence, he will ascertain and state when their Report will be published; will he consider the desirability of this being done so as to give sufficient time for debate before the end of the session; and will he give a day for that purpose.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The Royal Commission are completing their proceedings as rapidly as possible, and hope to be able to present their Report at an early date.

MR. PIRIE

Will it be before the close of the session?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I rather gather that will be so, but I can give no pledge or promise.
