HC Deb 31 July 1882 vol 273 cc215-6

In reply to Sir JOHN HAY,

MR. GLADSTONE

said: It is proposed, as is common in the last weeks of the Session, to resume to-morrow the commencement of the Sitting at 4 o'clock.

SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

I do not know whether the Prime Minister would be able now to forecast the Business of the Session, and the time of its probable termination; if not, I will put a Question to-morrow?

MR. GLADSTONE

It is proposed to take the Navy Estimates to-morrow, presuming, of course, that we dispose of the Business before us to-night. Further than that, in order to give a more satisfactory Answer, I would rather take until to-morrow to consider the matter; then I will give as clear a sketch as I can of the probable course of Business.
