HC Deb 23 May 1878 vol 240 cc498-9
MR. DILLWYN

I beg to give Notice that I shall to-morrow ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when it is proposed that the House shall adjourn for the Whitsuntide Recess, and for how long?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Before the right hon. Gentleman answers that Question, I shall be glad if the right hon. Gentleman will inform me when he will afford the House an opportunity of discussing the question of the Supplementary Estimate?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHE-QUER

I have to state that the Question referred to by the hon. Member for Swansea will be brought forward to-morrow. In answer to the noble Lord, I beg to say that I gave Notice some time ago—and in answer to a Question, I think, from the noble Lord himself—that I proposed to take that Estimate on Monday next, the 27th, and I think that will be the day which will be the most convenient to take it.
