§ MR. A. J. BALFOURgave Notice that, on going into Committee of Supply, he should call the attention of the House to the conduct of the Government with reference to the Seed Advances (Scotland) Bill.
§ SIR JOSEPH W. PEASEI rise to a point of Order. I wish to know, Sir, if the hon. Member for Hertford (Mr. A. J. Balfour) can enter upon a discussion in reference to the Seeds question, when a Bill upon that subject is down upon the Paper for a second reading?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have not the least intention of discussing the merits of the Bill, but, simply, the attitude taken by Her Majesty's Government, and I apprehend that that will be strictly in Order.
§ MR. SPEAKERI can only say, in reply to the Question of the hon. Baronet, that I must defer my answer to it until the case actually arises. It will then be my duly to say whether the hon. Member for Hertford (Mr. A. J. Balfour) is in Order or not.
