HC Deb 29 May 1922 vol 154 cc1681-2
48. Mr. W. SHAW

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he can now announce the date fixed for the discussion of the Canadian cattle embargo question.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. I shall not be able to name a date for this discussion till after the Recess.

Mr. SHAW

Has the right hon. Gentleman forgotten that in the first instance he said he hoped to give us a day shortly after Easter? Now it is to be after Whitsuntide?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not think I promised a day "shortly after Easter." What I think I said was that I could not make any statement as to a date until after Easter. I make the same statement now with regard to Whitsuntide.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Will it be before the General Election?
