HC Deb 10 April 1928 vol 162 cc1063-4
53 Mr. F. GRAY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury (1) what is the total amount of grants from the Development Fund to the Village Clubs Association;

consulted my advisers, and am advised that to make what I may call, if I may be excused for using the expression, a big show of handing over this pavilion now would be something of the nature of an afterthought. If we were going to do anything of that kind, we should have done it last year, when the centenary celebrations were on. We are sincerely anxious to show our respect and consideration for the Brazilian Government, and if there is any special way in which that can be done I shall be glad to adopt it.

Mr. SPEAKER

I am afraid we cannot now debate the matter.

Mr. SPEAKER

We have already given a long time to this question.
