THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONSir, as I arranged yesterday, I have communicated with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and I have given Notice for Monday next of the Resolution to which I referred yesterday. I will now, for 1885 the convenience of the House, ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will be willing on that day to postpone the Orders, so that precedence may be given to the debate on the Resolution?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERYes, Sir; that is an arrangement which I have felt will suit the noble Lord as well as the Government, and I propose to give Notice for Monday that the Orders of the Day shall be postponed in order that the Notice of the noble Lord may come on first.
§ MR. FAWCETTsaid, that, in consequence of the Notice just given by the noble Lord (the Marquess of Hartington), he would withdraw the Notice which he himself had given of a Resolution on the same subject.
§ SIR EDWARD COLEBROOKEasked what Business would be brought on on Thursday?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, it was intended to proceed with Supply.
