HC Deb 18 July 1889 vol 338 cc737-8
SIR W. HAECOURT

Will the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury inform the House what is to be the business to-morrow, and what will be the probable business on Monday?

* MR. W. H. SMITH

We hope to take the second reading of the Tithe Kent Charge Bill this evening, and I am afraid there will be no time then for proceeding with the Universities (Scotland) Bill. We shall proceed with that Bill therefore to-morrow; and with the other Orders which stand on the Paper for to-day. In the event of any time remaining to-morrow we shall proceed with Class III. of Supply. On Monday the consideration of the Scotch Local Government Bill stands on the Paper, and I hope the House will be able to proceed with it.

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I would ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he his aware that the Scotch Local Government Bill has been greatly altered in substance and in form in Committee, so much so as to be almost indistinguishable? The reprinted Bill has not yet been delivered, and so there will be no time for obtaining the views of Scotch people interested in the Bill before Monday.

* MR. W. H. SMITH

I am informed by my right hon. Friend that copies of the Bill will be in the Bill Office this afternoon.

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

They are not there yet.

MR. RITCHIE

They are there now.
