HC Deb 23 March 1910 vol 15 cc1063-4
Lord HUGH CECIL

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he is aware that the Somerset County Council have been informed that the January instalment of the whisky money will not be paid during the current financial year? If that is so, what is the reason for it?

Mr. BURNS

I have not received any information on the subject. Had I received notice of the question I would have done my best to get an answer.

Lord HUGH CECIL

The President of the Board of Education told me he had informed the right hon. Gentleman that the question would be asked.

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I mentioned to my right hon. Friend the fact that the Noble-Lord was going to ask a question, but I could not say what the question was. That was only a few moments ago.
