§ MR. BARRIE (Londonderry, N.)I beg to ask the Prime Minister when he now proposes to make his promised statement re the finances of The Irish Land Act, 1903.
§ MR. ASQUITHThe matter is well advanced, and I hope a statement will be made very soon. I cannot as yet fix the exact date.
§ MR. BARRIEIn view of the increasing urgency of this matter may we hope for the statement next week?
§ MR. ASQUITHI hope so, but I cannot say definitely.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN (Worcestershire, E.)Will the statement be made in a form which will admit of discussion?
§ MR. ASQUITHWhen the time comes we will try and provide opportunities.
