§ MR. H. H. FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)I wish to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to the right hon. Gentleman's statement the other evening that it was not the intention of the Government to proceed during this Session with any seriously contested measure not yet before the House, it is intended to proceed with the Western Australian Constitution Bill, which is seriously contested, and will meet with very strong opposition probably from Members on both sides of the House?
§ * MR. W. H. SMITHI should like to have the opportunity of answering that question on Monday, if the right hon. Gentleman will repeat it then.
§ MR. ILLINGWORTH (Bradford, W.)Do the Government intend to go forward with the Tithes Bill, or will they be content with the discussion which took place last night?
§ * MR. W. H. SMITHI think the discussion last night was such as fully to justify us in asking the House to proceed with the Bill.
§ MR. J. C. BOLTON (Stirling)Will the Local Government (Scotland) Bill be taken on Monday? Important Amendments have been proposed by the Lord Advocate.
§ * MR. W. H. SMITHI think it will be for the general convenience of the House that the Bill should be proceeded with on Monday. The Amendments to which the hon. Gentleman refers are chiefly of a drafting character, in pursuance of engagements entered into when the Bill was in Committee.
§ SIR W. LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)Has any arrangement been made in regard to the Revenue Bill?
§ * MR. W. H. SMITHIt will be taken on Monday, I hope.
