asked the Prime Minister, When he would be in a position to lay on the Table the text of the Treaty which had just been concluded at Washington and the Protocols of the Conference?

THE PRIME MINISTER AND SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (The Marquess of SALISBURY)

I hope the noble Earl will not consider me disrespectful if I answer laconically when I can get them.

THE EARL OF ROSEBERY

But they will be laid on the Table?

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

Oh, yes.
