§ VISCOUNT ALEXANDER OF HILLSBOROUGHMy Lords, may I ask the noble Earl a Question, of which I have given him private notice—namely, whether a statement on the Sudan is to be made to-day?
THE EARL OF GOSFORDMy Lords, I hope to be able to make a statement later on in the afternoon; and if that is so, it will be at approximately 5.30 p.m., immediately before the Royal Commission.
