HC Deb 31 March 1885 vol 296 c1106
MR. W. H. SMITH

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If he was able to say when the Government proposed to take the Vote for the Admiralty and War Office new buildings?

MR. BROADHURST

appealed to the Government to state a definite time at which this Vote would be taken. He understood that the question stood second for the first day after the Recess. If it was taken before Monday week some hon. Members interested in the question would have to travel long distances, and would have to neglect other public duties in order to attend to it. He wished to know, therefore, notwithstanding the obstruction of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Westminster—[Loud cries of "Order, order!"]

MR. SPEAKER

I must ask the hon. Member to withdraw that expression. His supplementary Question is irregular in itself.

MR. BROADHURST

I most heartily withdraw the expression if it is out of Order.

MR. HIBBERT

I certainly have not considered the course taken by the right hon. Member for Westminster as obstructive. I propose to take this Vote on Thursday after the Recess. Ample Notice will be given to hon. Members that the question will be brought forward.
