§ MR. SPENCER WALPOLEbelieved the proposal to take the Civil Service Estimates at a Morning Sitting would be received with great disfavour. He had never heard of such a proposal at this period of the Session, and thought it especially objectionable in this instance, because many of those who had Motions on going into Committee of Supply would be deprived of the opportunity of making them through shortness of notice.
MR. BRUCEsaid, the arrangement was in accordance with the statement made by the Prime Minister before the holidays.
