§ Mr. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAINI am not. yet in a position to make any statement in reply to the first part of the question. As to the second part, I am not prepared to give any undertaking, but in accordance with my promise to the deputation which I received from certain necessitous areas last Tuesday, officials of my Department have been appointed to discuss this question further with their representatives.
