HC Deb 17 February 1881 vol 258 cc1194-5

"Committee to consider of authorizing' the payment, out of the Revenues of India, of Superannuation Allowances to the Auditor of" the Accounts of the Secretary of State for India in Council and his Assistants (Queen's Recommendation signified), To-morrow."—(The Marquess of Hartington.)

Motion agreed to.

MR. FINIGAN

Can I oppose this, Mr. Speaker?

MR. SPEAKER

As this relates to a money Bill, the Rule as to opposed Business does not apply.

MR. H. FOWLER

Is the Committee deferred until To morrow, or Monday?

MR. SPEAKER

To-morrow.

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

I do not ask for leave to bring in the Bill To-morrow. The Motion is only to go into Committee.

MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

If anyone had risen in time, could not the Motion have been objected to?

MR. SPEAKER

No; because it relates to a financial question, and that is certainly excepted from the operation of the Rule with regard to opposed Business.

House adjourned at Two o'clock.
