HC Deb 02 March 1883 vol 276 c1261
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

asked if it would be regular under the New Rules of Procedure, when the Supplementary Estimates were taken on Monday, for an hon. Member to make a Motion on first taking each of the three classes of Estimates—Army, Navy, and Civil Service?

MR. SPEAKER

The New Rule provides that the Speaker should leave the Chair on Mondays and Thursdays without Question put, except on first going into Committee of Supply upon the Army, Navy, and Civil Service Estimates.

MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

asked if the Rule in regard to first going into Supply would apply to the Supplementary Estimates, and justify an hon. Member in making a Motion on each class of Estimates?

MR. SPEAKER

If Supplementary Estimates are proposed on Monday as the first Order of the Day, it will be my duty, as soon as the Order for going into Supply is read, to leave the Chair.
