HC Deb 10 July 1905 vol 149 c101
MR. LOUIS SINCLAIR

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he intends to introduce this session the measure, promised in His Majesty's Speech from the Throne, to raise the status of the Local Government Board and the Board of Trade and to create a Minister of Commerce.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I think it is desirable to introduce the Bill, but whether it is proceeded with obviously depends on whether it is treated as an uncontentious measure or not.
