§ Mr. GRETTONI desire to ask the Home Secretary a question of which I have given him private notice, namely, can he state when the White Papers dealing with the portion of the Shops Bill and the Amendments which the Government propose to proceed with will be in the hands of Members?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe hon. Member knows that this Bill is not in my charge. I have not had an opportunity since I received notice of the question to inquire when the Papers would be ready. I will tell the hon. Member privately afterwards what time we will circulate the Papers.
§ Mr. A. LYTTELTONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that last Wednesday the Papers were promised at an early date?
§ Mr. McKENNAI am not exactly aware of all the circumstances of the case, but I will endeavour to see that the Papers are circulated as early as possible.
