HC Deb 14 June 1922 vol 155 c382W
Captain TERRELL

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he can now fix the day for the discussion of the suggested raising of the embargo on Canadian cattle; and whether, prior to the Debate, any further official statement will be issued by the Government dealing with considerations of national policy on the matter?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

As I said on Monday, I had hoped to fix a day between the Committee and Report stages of the Finance Bill, but I have received representations that that week would be inconvenient to the Labour party on account of the meeting of their Annual Conference. The next week is the week of the Royal Agricultural. Show and would be equally inconvenient to many county Members. I propose, therefore, to try to fix the discussion on some day in the week beginning 10th July. The question of the publication of a statement containing a summary of the relevant facts is under consideration.
