With regard to the first part of the question, I must refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to the hon.

Member for South Tyrone on 29th ultimo.

Captain CRAIG

Would it be possible to discuss the question of this Commission when the Votes are reached?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Vote is down with the Votes for temporary Com missioners, stationery and publishing for Great Britain.

Captain CRAIG

Will the right hon. Gentleman give us an opportunity for discussing this particular Vote?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will consider the relative importance of this and other matters.

Captain CRAIG
