§ MR. MADDISON (Burnley)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will shortly lay upon the Table of the House, in accordance with the promise which was understood to have been given, the document to which he referred in the Debate on the Second Reading of the Finance Bill on 1st June last, as prepared by one of the ablest masters of political economy, and from which he quoted figures in regard to the relative cost of living in Germany and the United Kingdom.
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEThe Paper in question, a Memorandum on the Fiscal Policy of International Trade, by Mr. Alfred Marshall, until recently Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge, is now ready for issue, and I propose to lay it at once upon the Table of the House. The paper was originally prepared in 1903, and Mr. Marshall, when consenting to its publication, kindly undertook to revise it, which has caused a slight delay in its presentation to Parliament.
