PARLIAMENT—BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

HC Deb 03 May 1883 vol 278 cc1724-5

EARL PEECY

asked the Secretary of State for War, When he proposed to bring on the remaining Votes in the Army Estimates?

THE MARQUESS OF HAETINGTON

said, he feared there was no probability of bringing on the Army Estimates before the Whitsun Holidays. But be- fore the Holidays his right hon. Friend the Prime Minister would make a statement with regard to Public Business.

MR. J. STEWAET

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it was the intention of the Government to announce before the House rose at Whitsuntide what arrangements were proposed for the conduct of Scottish affairs in Parliament?

MR. GLADSTONE

said, he had to confirm the statement made by his noble Friend in answer to the previous Question, and to say that in such explanations as he should give there would be an announcement of the views of the Government on the subject referred to.
