Junior Lord of the Treasury.

HC Deb 19 March 1912 vol 35 c1711

Viscount WOLMER

asked why Sir Arthur Haworth has not been able to fulfil the duties of Junior Lord of the Treasury, and whether he will take steps to insure that his successor is able to fulfil them; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take?

The PRIME MINISTER

Sir Arthur Haworth has resigned the office referred to. I have nothing to add to my reply to the Noble Lord on the 11th instant.

Mr. RUPERT GWYNNE

Is it a fact that the Government are afraid to test the feelings of the electors?

Earl WINTERTON

Will any announcement be made before the Home Rule Bill is introduced?
