§ MR. JACKSONI beg to move for leave to introduce the Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill.
§
Motion made, and Question proposed
That leave be given to bring in a Bill to apply a sum, out of the Consolidated Fund, to the Service of the year ending on the thirty-first day of March one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, and to appropriate the Supplies granted in this Session of Parliament, and that Mr. Courtney, Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Jackson do prepare and bring it in.
§ MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)I think it would be convenient if the right hon. Gentleman would say when he proposes to take the further stages of this Bill.
§ MR JACKSONThe Second Reading of the Bill is fixed for to-morrow.
§ MR. SEXTONI asked when the further stages would be taken.
§ MR. JACKSONAs far as I can judge at present the Second Reading will be taken to-morrow, the Committee Stage on Saturday, and there will be an early Sitting of the House on Monday to take the Third Reading, by which means I hope the hon. Members will be able to bring their labours to a close on that day.
§ MR. SEXTONAre we to assume that at the Saturday Sitting nothing but Government business will be taken
§ MR. JACKSONI presume that that will be so.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Bill presented, and read the first time; to be read a second time to-morrow.
