§ Mr. LOUGHI beg to ask the Prime Minister a question of which I have given him private notice—whether having regard to the important statement made by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the Brussels Convention, and the great difficulties which are being caused at the present time to manufacturers and consumers in this country owing to the scarcity and high price of sugar, he can see his way to fulfil the conditional promise he made to give an opportunity to the House to express its views on the subject before any final decision is reached by His Majesty's Government?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI wish to have longer notice of that question. I will reply on Thursday.
§ NEW MEMBER SWORN.—Stanley Owen Buckmaster, Esquire, K.C., for County of York, Northern Part of the West Riding (Keighlcy Division).
