§ SIR WALTER B. BARTTELOT (Sussex, N.W.)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he could tall the House when it was proposed to take the Army Estimates?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster), in reply, 958 said, that he was unable to state when these Estimates would be taken; but he was afraid that they would have to wait for the Committee on the Irish Land Law Bill.
§ MR. A. O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)asked, whether the First Lord of the Treasury would take steps to expedite the printing of the Evidence taken before the Committee on the Army and Navy Estimates, in order that they might be in time for the discussion on the Estimates?
§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)asked, when the Index to the proceedings of the Royal Commission on Warlike Stores would be ready?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHsaid, that he was unable to give an answer to the latter Question without Notice; but he would make inquiries. With regard to the other matter, he had to say that the Government were most desirous that the Evidence should be in the hands of hon. Members as early as possible; but, as hon. Members were aware, the printing was carried out under the orders of the authorities of the House.
