§ MR. LYNCH (Yorkshire, W.R., Ripon)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when he expects to be able to present the Papers relating to the recent negotiations for the increase in the Turkish customs duties; when will there be an opportunity of discussing them; and at what date the new duties are to come into force.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir EDWARD GREY, Northumberland, Berwick)I hope to lay Papers by the end of next week, and they can of course be discussed on the usual opportunities. The increased duties will come into force after 25th June.
§ MR. LYNCHIn view of the protracted negotiations will the right hon. Baronet see that reasonable time is given for considering the Papers before the Foreign Office Vote is discussed?
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI can make no statement as to the course of business, but I will represent to the Prime Minister the desire of the hon. Member.
