HC Deb 26 March 1888 vol 324 c267
MR. CHILDERS (Edinburgh, S.)

wished to ask a Question of the First Lord of the Treasury as to the course of Business after the Recess. It had been stated that on the Thursday Civil Service Votes and ordinary Motions in Supply would be taken; but he should like to be informed concerning the Business that would be taken on Monday?

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

, in reply, said, that the right hon. Gentleman was quite accurate as to his forecast as to Thursday, and the Government hoped to be able to make progress in Supply on that day and Friday. He would, however, state positively to-morrow whether any Business but Supply would be taken on Monday.

MR. DILLWYN (Swansea, Town)

asked whether the Vote for the Admiralty Buildings would be taken on Thursday after the House re-assembled?

MR. W. H. SMITH

said, the Government proposed to defer that particular Vote. It would not be taken without sufficient Notice.

In reply to Mr. CHANNING (Northampton, E.),

MR. W. H. SMITH

said, it would not be possible to take the Railway and Canal Traffic Bill until after the Local Government (England and Wales) Bill had been read a second time.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

asked what Business would be taken to-morrow?

MR. W. H. SMITH

We hope to move one or two unimportant Bills a stage; but the particular Business will be the Adjournment.
