HC Deb 09 July 1883 vol 281 c796
MR. R. N. FOWLER

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, When he will be in a position to fix a day for the consideration of the Indian Budget?

MR. GLADSTONE

Sir, all I can say upon this subject is, that we cannot venture to fix a day for the discussion of the Indian Budget until the House has disposed of the most important and urgent matters which it has before it—namely, the Committee stage of the Corrupt Practices Bill and the Committee stage of the Tenants' Compensation Bill.
