49. Sir J. D. REESasked the Prime Minister whether any further subventions by the British taxpayer on behalf of Armenia and the Armenians are contemplated?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday on this subject by the Prime Minister.
Sir J. D. REESHas the right hon. Gentleman read the remarks in this behalf of the Noble Ford the Member for Hitchin (Ford Robert Cecil)? If so, do the Government govern the delegates, or the delegates govern the Government?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have read the remarks of my Noble Friend. As to the last part of the question, my experience is that everybody thinks he governs the Government.
§ Earl WINTERTONIs it not a fact that my Noble Friend the Member for Hitchin is not a delegate of the Government at all, but of South Africa?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWOf course that is so, and obviously my Noble Friend has every right to express his views.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREIs not the word "delegates" quite wrong? Are not they representatives, and not delegates?
