HC Deb 28 July 1906 vol 162 c221
MR. T. L. CORBETT

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he intends to introduce legislation giving effect to the unanimous Vote of the House of Commons against the opium traffic between India;and China.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The answer is in the negative. I do not anticipate that legislation will be required to give effect to such measures as His Majesty's Government may consider expedient.

MR. T. L. CORBETT

Do the Government intend to give effect to the unanimous Vote of the House?

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

That is exactly what I said.

MR. T. L. CORBETT

What does the right hon. Gentleman mean?

*MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member has had his answer.

MR. T. L. CORBETT

And a vrey unsatisfactory one, too.
