I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can explain the delay which has occurred in the presentation of the Report of the Royal Commission on motor cars; and whether he will undertake that the Vote for his salary shall not be put down until this House is in possession of such Report,.and has had an opportunity of studying it.

I understand that the Report is still under discussion, but that its preparation is being proceeded with as rapidly as practicable. I fear I could not give the undertaking asked for in the last part of the Question.

Shall we be able to discuss the Report before the end of the session?

I trust that the Report of the Royal Commission will be laid on the table of the House before the close of the session. Personally, I do not object to my salary being reduced, if an adequate discussion of the Report takes place.

Shall we have an opportunity of discussing the Bill before it is extended?

I hope so; I will place no difficulty in the way.

Can the measure not be included in the Expiring Laws Continuance Bill?

Certainly.
