§ SIR J. JARDINEI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he will be able to give a day for discussion of the lease of the Ceylon Government Pearl Fisheries to the Ceylon Company of Pearl Fishers.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANNo, Sir, I am afraid it is impossible to promise a day for the discussion of the matter, however important it may be.
§ SIR J. JARDINEIs the Prime Minister aware that the lease to the Ceylon Company of Pearl Fishers is causing much comment in Ceylon, Scotland and the City?
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI am afraid the exigencies of time are too strong to render any prospect of the debate possible.
