§ MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)To ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will say what instructions have been given to the delegates attending the International Congress to be held in Rome to raise the question of gambling in futures and options, especially in regard to foodstuffs.
(Answered by Mr. A. J. Balfour.) I understand that no instructions were 1087 given to raise these questions. The hon. Member will find that the nature of the delegation was lately made plain by an Answer given by the President of the Board of Agriculture to the hon. Member for East Northamptonshire.
