HC Deb 14 July 1904 vol 138 cc33-4
MR. AUSTIN TAYLOR (Liverpool, E. Toxteth)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will now cause to be laid upon the Table the Return in regard to Crown Agents business promised at an early period of the session.

MR. LYTTELTON

I think I informed my hon. friend that the preparation of the Return involved heavy labour. It is, however, now in the hands of the printers and I hope that it may be ready for delivery in a few days.

MR. AUSTIN TAYLOR

Will the right hon. Gentleman guarantee we shall have it before the Vote for his salary is discussed?

MR. LYTTELTON

I will guarantee that every effort will be made to expedite the printers in their task.
