Mr. McKINNON WOODMy right hon. Friend is afraid that as the provisions of the Amendment promised on the occasion referred to are still under consideration, he is not yet in a position to comply with the hon. Member's request?
§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINWill the hon. Gentleman ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take means to have his Amendments circulated to Members of the House, although the House be not sitting, before we are asked to resume the discussion of the Bill?
§ Mr. C. BATHURSTIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that a month ago the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that this Clause was available to any Members on this side who would like to ask to see it?
§ Mr. HARRY LAWSONMay I at the same time ask the right hon. Gentleman whether in view of the importance of eliciting agricultural opinion on the question the Amendments received would not be generally circulated for publication?
