§ In reply to Mr. W. H. SMITH,
§ MR. COURTNEYsaid, that the Civil Service Estimates were in the hands of the printers, and he hoped a few copies would be ready on Thursday, though they could not be generally distributed till Monday. He could not say when the Navy Estimates would be ready.
§ MR. W. H. SMITHsaid, he trusted the Government was aware that it was not reasonable even to ask for a Vote on Account until hon. Members had been afforded an opportunity of examining these Estimates.
