§ 48. Mr. PRINGLEasked the Prime Minister whether the Government has framed any instructions for the Chancellor of the Exchequer in connection with his forthcoming mission to the United States of America; and whether these; instructions will be laid upon the Table when they are framed and an opportunity be given to the House to discuss them before the Prorogation?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI think that it would be inadvisable in negotiations of this kind that the hands of the responsible Minister should be tied by written instructions.
