HC Deb 19 June 1884 vol 289 cc823-4
SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

I wish to ask the Prime Minister, with reference to the statement he has made as to the communication which he intends to make to the House on Monday, will it be made in such form as to enable observations to be made upon it if necessary?

MR. GLADSTONE

Certainly, Sir. It is my intention to make a short explanation in laying Papers on the Table on Monday; and I shall take care that it shall be made in such a way as to enable observations to be made, in so far as occasion shall arise.

SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman when the Papers to which he alludes, and which he intends to present on Monday, will be in our hands?

MR. GLADSTONE

They will be in the hands of Members, I have not the least doubt, on Tuesday morning.
