Soarcs to an office in the Treasury, Mr. C. E. Hobhouse, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, suggested that Mr. Norman Craig, Unionist member for the Isle of Thanet, who asked the question, possibly despised education,' and added that Mr. Scares was a first-class prizeman at his college. Perhaps Mr. Craig despised that also. • . The Speaker (the Eight Hon. J. W. Lowthcr), interposing, deprecated offensive allusions, and censured Mr. Hobhouse for going out of the way to suggest that Mr. Craig did not appreciate intellect or knowledge. Mr. Hobhouse; I only judged by his demeanour. The Speaker retorted severely that that again was an unnecessarily offensive expression.
