HC Deb 02 March 1904 vol 130 cc1489-90
MR. TREVELYAN Yorkshire, W.R., Elland)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is probable that the Alien Immigration Bill will be introduced before Easter.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I hope this Bill will be introduced before Easter, but the House knows that our pressing necessity at the present moment is Supply, and I can give no absolute pledge on the subject.
