Mr. BALFOURMay I ask the Prime Minister a question, of which I have given him private notice—and which I have deferred until to-day, at his request— whether it would, in his opinion, be in the public interest to make any statement with regard to foreign affairs. If he would do so it would be a matter of great interest to the House.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI think it would be more in the public interest, and to the general convenience, to have a statement on this question made on Thursday, when we propose to take the Foreign Office Vote in Committee of Supply. On Friday, we shall take the Report stage of the Copyright Bill.
