MR. CLEMENT EDWARDS (Denbigh District)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is in a position to give the House any information regarding the promised Royal Commission on Canals, and particularly whether he can state its constitution and terms of reference.
§ MR. ASQUITH (for Sir H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN)This business is in a forward state, and the Prime Minister hopes very shortly to make the necessary arrangements for taking His Majesty's pleasure thereon.
