§ 57. Mr. WILLIAM SHAWasked the Lord Privy Seal if he can now arrange to give the House an early opportunity of discussing the Canadian cattle embargo question; and whether he will leave the decision as to the removal of the embargo to a free vote of the House?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI cannot find time for such a discussion before Easter, but I will try to arrange an opportunity soon after the Recess for discussion on a Motion by my hon. Friend or some other private Member. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative.
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI beg pardon I overlooked the latter part of the question. If a Motion be put down, we will leave it to the free vote of the House, and not put on the Government Whips.
§ Mr. SHAWSeeing that the Government have already altered their policy on this question quite recently, will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that they will not alter it again between now and the putting down of the Motion?
