THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONasked, If it was to be understood that the Army Discipline and Regulation Bill would be proceeded with at the Morning Sitting on the morrow (this day); and, if the Government could state 1434 what Business they intended to take on Thursday?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply said, the Army Discipline and Regulation Bill was to be taken to-morrow at the Morning Sitting, and on Thursday they proposed to resume the adjourned discussion on Indian Finance.
§ MR. CALLANSir, I should wish to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer a Question which would convenience Irish Members very much to have answered. It is, Whether it is his intention to bring forward the Irish Estimates, or the Scotch Universities Votes before this day week?
§ SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSONSir, the promise which has already been given does not apply to all the Irish Estimates, nor to the Votes for the Scotch Universities. It is proposed to take the Irish Law Votes.
§ MR. CALLANI understood that before the Recess some Member on the opposite side stated that none of the Irish Estimates would be taken on the first night after the Recess. Might I ask if that is so?
§ SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSONI suppose I am the Member of the Government referred to. At all events, what I did say was that I would take none of the Votes objected to by certain hon. Members for Ireland; but with regard to the Irish Law Votes I made no promise. I gave no pledge whatever and I would not take the Law Votes of Class III. In fact, I did say I would take Class III. as it stood.
