§ 49. Sir John Mellorasked the Prime Minister whether he has directed any alteration in the practice of treating questions relating to the service of foreign loans issued in the United Kingdom as Foreign Office questions, and whether in future such questions should be addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir. The decision as to which Minister should reply to any hon. Member's question about foreign loans must depend on the terms of the question.
§ Sir J. MellorDoes not that reply place hon. Members in a certain difficulty in considering on which day they should seek a reply to questions of this character?
§ The Prime MinisterMy hon. Friend will be able to get information at the Table as to the Minister to whom he should address his questions.
