HC Deb 28 July 1913 vol 56 c21
50. Mr. JOHN

asked the Prime Minister whether, in order to facilitate the early establishment of a domestic Legislature in Wales, he will appoint a Commission to investigate, during the Recess, the relations at present existing between the Principality, including Monmouthshire, and Great Britain in the matter of public income and expenditure, so as to fix the appropriate contribution of the Principality to Imperial revenues, the fittest method of levying the same, and the probable amount of the cost of the domestic services assuming that none are reserved to Imperial Parliament?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not prepared at present to promise and appoint such a Commission.
