§ MR. LAURENCE HARDYI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in view of the urgent necessity of the case, he will undertake that an early opportunity be given to the House to discuss the Report of the Select Committee on Hops.
§ MR. ASQUITHI am afraid that the time at the disposal of the House will not admit of a discussion upon this Report before the adjournment.
§ MR. LAURENCE HARDYIn view of the urgency of the matter, will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to bring in legislation on the subject during the autumn session?
§ MR. ASQUITHI cannot give any such undertaking, but I will undertake to consider the Report very carefully during the holidays.
§ MR. CHAPLINWill no opportunity of any kind be given the House to discuss this very important subject?
§ MR. ASQUITHI do not know whether it would be in order on the Appropriation Bill or on the Motion for adjournment.
§ *SIR W. J. COLLINS (St. Pancras, W.)Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of adopting some or all of the practical recommendations contained in the Report?
§ MR. ASQUITHYes, when time allows.
