HC Deb 21 July 1884 vol 290 cc1758-9
MR. GUY DAWNAY

asked the Prime Minister, When the Zulu Vote would be taken?

MR. GLADSTONE

Viewing the moderate progress made with Supply, and the necessity of adhering to the order of the Votes, I have little hope that we shall be able to take the Zulu Vote during the present week. I hope, however, to be able on Monday to fix a day for the consideration of this Vote, and whatever day it is taken it will be put down as the first Vote for the evening.

MR. GUT DAWNAY

said, he had received a communication from the Prime Minister's Secretary to the effect that the Vote would probably be moved early this week. Next Monday would be inconvenient to him, as he had to address a political meeting in Yorkshire on that day, and on Tuesday he had to preside at an agricultural meeting.

MR. GLADSTONE

said, he did not know the precise terms of his Secretary's reply; but he would endeavour to see whether the hon. Member's convenience could be consulted.
