HC Deb 28 July 1887 vol 318 cc384-5
MR. R, T. REID (Dumfries, &c.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, having regard to the fact that there has been no opportunity of discussing Indian questions this Session, and the extreme importance of these questions, he will take care that the Indian Budget is brought on before the 12th August, and while there is still a good attendance of Members in the House?

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

in reply, said, the hon. and learned Member ought to be well aware that it was not in his power to name a date on which the Indian Budget could be introduced, and it was not in his power to express an opinion when it would be possible to do so. He should be exceedingly glad if it were possible to do so on or before the 12th August.

MR. BRADLAIJGUH (Northampton)

gave Notice that when it was introduced he should raise the question of Burmah.

MR. W. H. SMITH

said, ample Notice of the introduction of the Budget would be given.
