§ MR. FAWCETTsaid, he was prevented from being in his place yesterday when the Chancellor of the Exchequer mentioned a Motion which stood in his name. At the beginning of the Session he was given to understand that the House would have an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the Afghan War. He had now received from the Chancellor of the Exchequer a communication to the effect that, should he consider it necessary to bring forward the subject of the expenses of the Afghan War, the most convenient opportunity for raising that question would be on the Report of the Budget Resolutions. He wished to know when that Report 695 would be taken; would it be at the Morning Sitting on Friday?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI think, probably, that would be the most convenient time.
