HC Deb 28 July 1890 vol 347 c1070
MR. SEXTON

When will the Supplementary Estimates be brought on?

MR. JACKSON

In the course of a day or two.

MR. BRYCE

Can the First Lord of the Treasury name a day for taking the Foreign Office Vote?

* MR. W. H. SMITH

I am sorry to say that I am unable to do so at present.

MR. W. A. MACDONALD

Will the Irish Census Bill be taken to-night, and will the right hon. Gentleman indicate an hour after which it will not be taken?

MR. HANBURY

Is it intended to take the Committee on the Scotch Police Bill before the Report stage on the; English measure?

* CAPTAIN VERNEY (Bucks, N.)

Can the right hon. Gentleman hold out any hope as to when the Navy Estimates will be taken. And will an opportunity be then afforded for the discussion of the Report of the Royal Commission from a Naval point of view?

MR. ESSLEMONT

And when will the Committee on the Education of the Blind and Deaf Mute Children (Scotland) Bill be taken?

* MR. W. H. SMITH

The Irish Census Bill will not be taken this evening, unless we get through the Local Taxation Bill before 11 o'clock. The Education of the Blind and Deaf Mute Children Bill will not be taken to-day, and I am unable to say when it will. In regard to the Scotch Police Bill, I am afraid we must adhere to the Order of Business as it is now laid down. We propose to proceed with the English Bill first, and then to take the Scotch measure. As to the Navy Estimates, I hope it will be in our power to reach them early. The Post Office Estimates and the Foreign Office Vote will be taken first, and then we propose to proceed with the Navy Estimates.
