HC Deb 10 July 1905 vol 149 cc98-9
MR. GEORGE KENYON (Denbigh Boroughs)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, seeing the limited time during which, it will be possible for Members to consider the probable effect of his Redistribution Resolutions, he will lay upon the Table at once such information and statistics as are available to enable them to form an approximate idea of their results, more especially as affecting the relative position of the constituent parts of the United Kingdom.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I hope my right hon. friend will lay the Resolutions and some explanatory statements and figures with regard to them on the Table of the House immediately. [Some cries of "When?"] I hope they will he in the hands of Members to-morrow.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL:

Who is going to lay them on the Table of the House? Who, among the galaxy on that bench, is "my right hon. friend"?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The hon. Gentleman may devote his time to discussing with his friends who the right hon. Gentleman is likely to be among those who sit upon this bench.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

A most improper Answer—most discourteous. Keep your temper.
