HC Deb 29 July 1879 vol 248 cc1535-6
MR. CHILDERS

said, he understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in answering at an earlier stage a Question put to him by the hon. Member for Hackney, to say that on Thursday he would propose the Vote for the expenses of the Zulu War, whereas he had understood the right hon. Gentleman to say on the previous day that he would not ask the House to pass the Vote on Thursday.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, he had not meant to state that he would ask the House to pass the Vote on Thursday, but only that he would lay the Estimate on the Table, and make a statement.

MR. W. E. FORSTER

Is it the intention of the Government to take the Education Estimates as the First Order to-morrow?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Yes.

THE O'DONOGHUE

Might I ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will say when the Committee on the Irish University Bill will be taken?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, I am not able at this moment to fix a day, and it will be impossible to do so this week.

MR. RYLANDS

wished to know when the Vote for the enlargement of the Reporters' Gallery would be taken?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

suggested that the hon. Gentleman should give Notice of his Question.

In reply to Mr. PRICE,

MR. W. H. SMITH

said, the Navy Estimates would be proceeded with on Thursday.
