BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. (Hansard, 27 June 1916)

§ Mr. SNOWDEN
May I ask when we are to have the statement by the Prime Minister, promised yesterday, with regard to the treatment of the conscientious objectors?

§ Mr. McKENNA
The Prime Minister has asked the hon. Member for York (Mr. Rowntree) to postpone certain questions referring to this subject until tomorrow, and my right hon. Friend, by that request, conveyed that he would make his statement to-morrow. That, I hope, will be satisfactory to the hon. Member.

§ Mr. MORRELL
Will it be a full statement dealing with the whole question?

§ Mr. McKENNA
I believe so, but I have no authority for saying it.

§ Mr. LOUGH
On the Orders of the Day is Order No. 3, Ways and Means, Committee, to be taken to-day?

§ Mr. McKENNA
It is not effective.
