HC Deb 09 November 1888 vol 330 c776
MR. BUCHANAN (Edinburgh, W.)

asked, Whether the Government intended to take the Scotch Education Vote immediately after the English Education Vote, or with the other Scotch Votes?

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

, in reply, said, he should be inclined to follow the convenience of Scotch Members as to when the Vote should be taken. If it would be more convenient to wait until the other Votes were taken, he would consult the convenience of Scotch Members. [Cheers.] He took that cheer to be the wish of the Scotch Members to postpone the Vote, and therefore that course would be taken.
