HC Deb 09 August 1909 vol 9 c9
Lord ROBERT CECIL

May I be permitted to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is able to answer any of the questions standing in the name of the Chancellor of the Exchequer?

Sir FREDERICK BANBURY

I put a question down for Thursday and I was asked to postpone it. I then put it down for Monday, and I am now asked again to postpone it. Would it not be possible to have the Secretary to the Treasury present to give an answer?

Mr. EVELYN CECIL

I put down a question on Thursday last, which is now down on the Paper. I was asked to postpone it on Thursday, and to-day I am again asked to postpone it. Some representative of the Treasury might have been able to answer.
