HC Deb 11 May 1882 vol 269 cc526-7
SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

asked what Business would be taken on Monday?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

said, he could not state absolutely, but only subject to the view of the Prime Minister. He believed it was proposed to take the Parliamentary Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Practices) Bill on Monday, or, perhaps, Supply. If Supply were taken, it would be the Army Estimates.

SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked when the Procedure Resolutions would again be taken. ["Oh!"] It was all very well to say "Oh!" but, as a matter of convenience, it was most desirable they should know when it was proposed to renew the consideration of these Resolutions. In point of fact, it had been made a Vote of Confidence. If the 1st Resolution were not passed, the Government had given an intimation that they intended to resign. ["Oh!"] He wished to know if the Government still adhered to the Procedure Resolutions.

MR. SPEAKER

wished to remind the hon. Member that the House was now going through the Orders of the Day. The hon. Member had already asked a Question, and had received an answer.

MR. R. N. FOWLER

asked when the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill would be taken?

MR. CHILDERS

requested the hon. Gentleman to put the Question tomorrow.

MR. REDMOND

inquired what the Business would be on Friday.

MR. CHILDERS

replied that the Army Estimates would be proceeded with in Committee of Supply.
