HC Deb 31 March 1890 vol 343 cc307-8

(4.47.) Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do meet Tomorrow, at Two o'clock."—(Mr. William Henry Smith.)

MR. SEXTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman state what is to be the order of business?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

I hope to be able to make sufficient progress in Supply this evening in order to be able to move the Adjournment to-morrow. In that event, there are one or two Bills which will not occupy more than two minutes. After that we will move the Adjournment, which will take effect at the rising of the House at seven o'clock.

MR. SEXTON

What Bills?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

The South Indian Railway Purchase Bill, and I hope we may possibly take the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Bill.

DR. TANNER

How much money—how many Votes will the right hon. Gentleman require this evening?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

I hope it will be possible to take Class 1. Some of the money is required for buildings, and it is desirable that there should be no delay in obtaining it, in order that the buildings may be proceeded with during the most favourable time of the year.

MR. SEXTON

I understood that no Irish Supply was to be taken before the 17th April.

*MR. W. H. SMITH

That is the last of the Votes in Class 1, and it will not be taken.

Question put, and agreed to.
