HC Deb 27 June 1907 vol 177 c95
MR. MITCHELL-THOMSON (Lanarkshire, N.W.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Jamaica Loan Bill will be introduced this session; and, if so, whether he can give the date.

MR. ASQUITH

It is proposed to take power in the Public Works Loans Bill of this session to make the loan to Jamaica out of the Local Loans Fund. I cannot at present specify the date on which the Bill will be introduced.

LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)

Is it proposed to throw this sum as well as the million for the Transvaal on the market?

MR. ASQUITH

I am not going on the market for this.
