§ 72. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the French Chamber has held sittings in Secret 836 Session, during which the whole field of affairs, home and foreign, military and civil, has been thoroughly revealed and frankly discussed; and whether he will now comply with the desire of many Members of this House for a Secret Session of Parliament?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I think it will be better to wait till after the discussion on Tuesday before considering the last part of the question.
§ Mr. KINGCan we have some intimation of the object with which this change is to be introduced? Is it to give more information to the House or is it to withhold it, as is the case in some countries, especially Germany?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThere is no intention to withhold information from the House.
