§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, now that tho Relief of Distress (Ireland) Bill has passed, he will give a day for the discussion of the Affairs of Afghanistan which was postponed at his request?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI am sorry that it is quite out of my power to make any promise at present of a day for any subject of this character. We have a great deal of Business that must necessarily be got through within a limited time. There are the Army and Navy Estimates, and the number of men that must be voted as the foundation for the continuance of the Mutiny Bill. We have financial measures that are pressing in point of time, and there is other Business before the House which renders it impossible for me to promise any day before Easter.
