HC Deb 23 March 1866 vol 182 cc839-40
MR. BAILLIE COCHRANE

said, he would beg to put a Question to Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, with respect to the order of business before the House after Easter?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, the intention of the Government is to proceed on the 9th of April with the Civil Service Estimates, ns is the usual practice on the first day after the Easter recess. On the 12th, as I have already announced, we are to proceed with the second reading of the Franchise Bill; and after the second reading of that Bill we propose to take the Budget. Probably that will be thought a sufficient bill of fare to satisfy the House.
