HC Deb 26 April 1866 vol 182 cc2076-7
MR. MACEVOY,

who had a notice of Motion on the paper for to-morrow relative to the payment of Medical Officers of Unions in Ireland, on going into Committee of Supply, stated his readiness to give way, in the hope that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give him another day.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

I beg, Sir, to thank the hon. Gentleman for the great courtesy with which he made known to me his intention not to stand in the way of the adjourned debate. As to the Motion of which he has given notice, he need be wider no anxiety as to whether it be brought or, before or after the Financial Statement. It contains nothing vitally affecting our financial arrangements. I entirely agree with him that it is a Motion which it is perfectly right to bring under discussion. It has been discussed before, and I shall be very glad, indeed, to lend a helping hand to procure another opportunity convenient to the hon. Member for that purpose, and on as early a day as possible. I now wish to give notice, as I think it may be said to be understood by the House generally that the debate on the Representation of the People Bill is to terminate to-morrow evening—on that supposition I give notice that on Thursday next, this day week, I propose, in Committee of Ways and Means, to make the Financial Statement.
