§ MR. W. H. SMITHasked as to the time when the Chancellor of the Exchequer would move for the appointment of the Select Committees on Army and Navy Expenditure, and on the expenditure for Miscellaneous and other Services?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)I do not see any prospect of the Motion for the two Committees being reached before half-past 12 to-night; but I shall move them on the first occasion permitted by the Rules of the House.
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONinquired whether the right hon. Gentleman was really going to move a Vote of Censure on his two Colleagues at 12 o'clock at night?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)said, that it was the wish of the House in ls83 and 1884—a wish pointedly expressed by the Leader of the Party to which the noble Lord belonged—that this Committee to which the noble Lord referred should be appointed, and he should certainly take the first opportunity of moving for its appointment.
