THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONI wish, Sir, to ask the right hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government, Whether it is still his intention to proceed with the Regimental Exchanges Bill on Monday next, after the Army Estimates; and, if so, after what hour he will not bring it on? I may perhaps state that in addition to the Amendments which are already upon the Paper, some of which are of considerable importance, I have ascertained that several further Amendments will be placed upon the Paper this evening, and that they are not unlikely to lead to considerable discussion. I think it extremely improbable that the discussion in Committee can be concluded within an hour or two of the end of the Sitting, and I would suggest that more ample time should be given.
§ MR. DISRAELII do not propose to proceed with the Regimental Exchanges Bill after 11 o'clock. That will allow three hours, at least, for the discussion, 1289 And if there are so many new Amendments coming forward as the noble Lord states, that is rather an argument for us to avail ourselves of that time on Monday, as the Committee will probably extend over several days.
