asked the Secretary for Mines whether any decision has yet been come to with regard to the unification of mining royalties?

Mr. E. BROWN

I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Miss WARD

When will the hon. Member be in a position to make a statement in view of the fact that he said to me some time ago that the matter was being actively pursued Can he say how long active pursuit lasts?

Mr. BROWN

I cannot say that.
