§ MR. BYLESI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the pledges given by the late Prime Minister and to the imminence of the adjournment, he can now give any assurance to the House that the Government will not commit the House to any subsidies in support of what is called the all-red route before Parliament has had the opportunity of discussing the subject.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.I can only repeat the assurance of the late Prime Minister that if, on examination, any such scheme was found to be feasible, no arrangement would be binding until approved by the House of Commons.
