HC Deb 10 December 1906 vol 166 cc1574-5
LORD R. CECIL

asked the prime Minister whether he could inform the House what was the reason why the Report of the Royal Commission on Corrupt Practices at Worcester had been published before it had been circulated to Members of that House.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I was not aware of the fact, but if it is the fact it is another instance of the extraordinary facility with which some things get most improperly into the Press before Members of the House receive them. There are so many cases. I do not know what can be done to prevent it.
