§ MR. CREMER (Shoreditch, Haggerston)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to his statement that the Committee of Defence are clearly of opinion that invasion of these islands in such force as to inflict a fatal blow or threaten our independence is impossible, he proposes to prepare any scheme for repelling invasion.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have already indicated to an hon. and gallant friend that I should favour all Questions on this subject being put off until after the debate on the Vote connected with the Committee of Imperial Defence which I propose to bring on at no distant day after Easter.
