§ 11. Mr. MANDERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed 193 to introduce this Session the Bill dealing with the purchase of mining royalties?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMI would refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave him to a similar question on 25th February last, to which I am afraid I can add nothing at present.
§ Mr. MANDERIs it not possible to give some indication to the public of the introduction of this very important Bill?
§ Mr. GRAHAMI have explained that every effort will be made to introduce it before the end of July, but I am afraid that we cannot make more progress with it.
§ Mr. C. WILLIAMSWhat is holding up all these Bills?
§ Mr. GRAHAMThe hon. Member and other hon. Members on his side of the House.
