HC Deb 25 February 1907 vol 169 cc1273-4
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if the Government will support the Bill for the repeal of the Law prohibiting tobacco-growing in Ireland, which received the approval of every Member representing an Irish constituency.

MR. ASQUITH

Yes, the Government will support the Bill provided that it is amended in the manner I have suggested to the hon. Member in correspondence I have recently had with him on the subject.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Gentlemen in charge of the Bill are prepared to accept the Amendments? Will he therefore give facilities for the Bill?

MR. ASQUITH

That Question had better be deferred till the return of the Prime Minister.
