§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER moved, "That the Orders of the Day be postponed until after the Notice of Motion relating to the Zulu War."
§ MR. RYLANDSasked what arrangements the right hon. Gentleman proposed to make with a view to the prolongation of the debate?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERpresumed the hon. Member 1865 meant to say with a view to the conclusion of the debate. He should suppose that the hon. Members for Glasgow and Cumberland, who had given Notices on going into Committee of Supply tomorrow, would not think it necessary to stand upon their rights, and that the House would be allowed to resume the adjourned debate.
§ MR. ANDERSONsaid, his Notice of Motion, which occupied the first place, was of paramount importance on account of the nature of the subject. In the present extreme depression of our manufacturing and agricultural industries the subject of technical education was one of the most important which could be discussed. The Government were also aware of the extreme difficulty that any private Member had in securing the first place on the Paper. It was rather hard, therefore, to be obliged to relinquish it after securing it. At the same time, he could not possibly resist the wish of the House to proceed with the adjourned debate; and he therefore would give way, hoping, however, that the Government would, if necessary, assist him in getting another day for his Motion.
§ Motion agreed, to.
§ Ordered, that the Orders of the Day be postponed until after the Notice of Motion relating to the Zulu War.—(Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer.)
