HC Deb 08 October 1912 vol 42 cc154-5
Mr. CHAPLIN

I desire to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer a question, of which I have given him private notice, and which I asked the President of the Board of Agriculture yesterday, but he was unable to answer, namely: Whether, in the event of the result of the deputation which he has promised to receive tomorrow on the question of the admission of Irish cattle into Great Britain being regarded as unsatisfactory, he will take care, in making any Orders for the future business in this House, that we on this side of the House are not precluded from raising this question in Debate, if it may be thought necessary or desirable to do so?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has asked me to answer this question. Should the right hon. Gentleman consider the result of the deputation unsatisfactory, perhaps he will put down a question later, and the Government will certainly give the most careful consideration to any representation which the right hon. Gentleman may make on the subject.
