HC Deb 23 February 1911 vol 21 cc2088-9
Mr. WHELER

asked the Prime Minister whether he would grant facilities for discussion of the Hops Bill (No. 2) of last Session if reintroduced in the present Session?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asqulth)

It would be quite unusual at this stage of the Session to give any undertaking on the subject.

Viscount CASTLEREAGH

I beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman, in view of the sympathetic consideration which he has previously shown, whether he cannot hold out any hope to those who are adopting an attitude of patient expectancy with regard to this question?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.
