§ MR. MANSFIELDI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury will he consider the advisability of having the answers to starred Questions printed and circulated with the Votes.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.I do not think such a change would be desirable. Hon. Members already have the alternative of saying whether or not these Questions should be answered orally, and some difficulty might arise as to supplementary Questions if the suggestion were carried out. On the whole, I think the present system the best.
