§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEI should be glad now if Government would tell us what the arrangement of Public Business will be to-night, and what will be the course of Business on Monday, especially with regard to the Egyptian Estimates? I see the Parliamentary Oaths Bill stands for second reading then. I presume it will not be taken; but I am anxious to know authoritatively?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONI hope the House will be willing to go into Committee of Supply, or, at all events, to commence the consideration of the Estimates at any hour up to 12 o'clock to-night. The Business on Monday will be Supply. The first Business 1261 will be the completion of any Supplementary Estimates not disposed of tonight.
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEWill any other Estimates be taken then?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)On Monday we could not take any but Supplementary Estimates.
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEThen it will be distinctly understood that the Parliamentary Oaths Bill will not be taken on Monday?
§ SIR WALTER B. BARTTELOTasked whether, it was intended to take the Army Estimates during the next week?
