MR. GIBSON BOWLESI desire to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he has been able to make arrangements for discussion on the Cunard Money Committee. A large sum of money is involved, and many Members on both sides of the House desire to take part in the discussion.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI do not know what the limits of the discussion on the Resolution will be; but the House will remember that all that now has to be done is to provide the money to carry out an obligation for which this House, and not the Government alone, is responsible. I cannot promise a day before the Whitsuntide holidays.
MR. GIBSON BOWLESThe Resolution of the House to which the right hon. Gentleman refers was taken on the last day of the session, when only ninety-two Members on the Government side of the House were present.
