§ SIR WILFRID LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)asked, when the adjourned debate on the National Defence Bill would be taken?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)said, the Resolutions relating to Imperial Defence and the National Defence Bill would be the first Orders for Monday, June 4, as the Government were desirous, owing to the importance of the question, to have the matter disposed of as rapidly as possible. After the two Bills on this subject the Irish Bills would be taken.
