HC Deb 06 June 1851 vol 117 cc554-5
LORD JOHN RUSSELL

Sir, it may be convenient that I should now state what course we intend to pursue with regard to public business. On Thursday next it is our intention that the Committee of Supply should stand first among the Orders of the Day, and we propose to go into Committee to consider the remaining part of the Navy Estimates, and the plan of my right hon. Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty for the retirement of admirals. After the Naval Estimates are gone through, we will take a Vote for the expenses of the Kaffir war, and then the Civil Contingencies; and on Thursday and Friday we will take the Miscellaneous Estimates. I stated the other day that on Monday I should propose to go on with the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill; but to give more time to some hon. Gentlemen—Irish Members—I intend to postpone it for a longer period. We will, therefore, proceed first with the second reading of the Customs and the Inhabited House Duty Bills. The Miscellaneous Estimates will be taken after those two Bills on Monday. It is not my intention to resume the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill until the Friday following, that is, this day fortnight; and I now beg to move, Sir, that this House at its rising, do adjourn to Thursday next.

Motion agreed to.
