HC Deb 22 March 1881 vol 259 c1657
SIR ALEXANDER GORDON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, If he will place on the Notice Paper, when more than one Class of Civil Service Estimates are put down for the Committee on the same day, the numbers of the Votes of each Class which he proposes to take on the day named?

LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH

Sir, when it is proposed to take Votes out of the order in which they stand in the several Classes, I think it is desirable that the numbers of such Votes should be placed on the Notice Paper; but when it is intended to take the Votes in order I do not see that anything would be gained by specifying the numbers.
