§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe Imperial War Cabinet is both an executive and a consultative body, its functions being regulated by the nature of the subject under discussion.
§ Mr. MORRELLWhat is its real relation to the War Cabinet, of which the right hon. Gentleman is a member? Is it superior or is it subordinate?

§ Mr. LYNCHWill the right hon. Gentleman indicate what are the relations between the War Cabinet and the Imperial Conference, and whether the same subjects are presented for discussion?
