§ LORD JOHN MANNERSSir, the Vote for the new Foreign Office stands for to-night, but I think it would be more convenient if my right hon. Friend the First Commissioner of Works would consent to postpone it till Monday. It was 294 understood that certain plans were to be exhibited in one of the Committee Rooms, and that the House was to have an opportunity of forming its opinions with regard to them. Some of these plans have only been submitted forty-eight hours ago, and, therefore, if the Government were disposed to take Supply on Monday, the question could then be more convenientlly settled.
MR. COWPERSir, I am anxious to meet the wishes of the noble Lord, and, therefore, I shall willingly postpone the Vote till Monday, on the understanding that it will be then taken.
