HC Deb 07 May 1889 vol 335 cc1365-6
DR. CAMERON

Can the First Lord of the Treasury inform the House when the Scotch Local Government Bill will be taken? I conclude that it will not be taken on Thursday?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

The Scotch Local Government Bill will not be taken on Thursday.

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

Is the right hon. Gentleman able to say what will be taken on Thursday?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

In the event of the Naval Defence Bill being concluded, probably the Report and Supply will be taken.

MR. CHANNING

Then are we to understand that Supply will not be taken?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

No, Sir; Supply will be taken, but I hope to take the Report of the Budget Resolutions in the first instance, and then to proceed with the Votes according to their order on the Paper, the Privy Council Vote being postponed.
