HC Deb 24 February 1887 vol 311 c484
MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, If the Government will interrupt the consideration of the Business of the House (Rules of Procedure), for the purpose of proceeding with any Bill relating to the Criminal Law of Ireland, or for any purpose except the transaction of necessary Business of Supply?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

I am unable to give the hon. Gentleman any information beyond that which I have already stated to the House—namely, that it is not the intention of the Government to allow any but urgent Business to interrupt the consideration of the Rules of Procedure, which are necessary to secure the orderly conduct of the Business of the House.

MR. HENRY H. FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)

Will the right hon. Gentleman tell the House when it is proposed to go into Committee of Supply upon the Supplementary Estimates?

MR. W. H. SMITH

I will give an answer on Monday.
