asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will state the names of the International Tin Committee; and also the connection of any of them with the tin trade.

As the answer is rather long I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Might I ask whether any Member of Parliament is on this Committee?

No Member of our Parliament. I am not sure whether some of the foreign representatives are members of their Parliaments.

Might I ask whether the right hon. and gallant Gentleman expects reinforcements from the Treasury Bench to this Committee when the present Government lose office?

I would not speculate on such a remote future.
