HC Deb 26 July 1887 vol 318 c53
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL

reported from the Select Committee on Army and Navy Estimates that they had agreed to the following Special Report:—

Your Committee report that, in their opinion, it would be highly beneficial and advisable for the pm poses of their inquiry, that the House should authorise them to take such steps as they deem necessary to secure an independent professional examination and audit of the Expense Accounts of the Army Manufacturing Departments, and of the books on which those Accounts have been based.

Special Report to lie upon the Table, and to he printed. [No. 239.]

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Report be taken into consideration upon Thursday."—(Lord Randolph Churchill.)

MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N)

asked, whether that Motion would take precedence of the Irish Land Law Bill on Thursday?

THK FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

I think there would not be a single moment of delay in agreeing with the Report, and that the recommendation of the Committee would be accepted at once by the House unanimously.

Motion agreed to.

Special Report to be taken in consideration upon Thursday.
