§ MR. RAIKESasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, having regard to the inconvenience that would arise in the conduct of Public Business in the event of the first Resolution respecting Parliamentary Procedure being affirmed, and the second Resolution being subsequently rejected by this House, he would consent to postpone the consideration of the former until the House had arrived at a decision upon the latter proposal?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI should wish to consider any suggestion made by the right hon. Gentleman with that care to which it is entitled; but the Government has placed the Rules on the Paper in the order which they thought would be most convenient, and at present I see no reason for departing from that order.
§ MR. RAIKESIn the event of these Rules being proposed in the order in which they stand, I beg to give Notice that I shall move the Previous Question in respect to the first Resolution, and that I shall move the rejection of the second.
