MR. J. E. ELLISI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, inasmuch, as on 20th May he stated
If it becomes necessary for the Government to make proposals for a further extension of time, then the views of the Government with regard to the future progress of business may be properly put forward,and on the 23rd May he made such a proposal without giving the views of the Government, he will now, for the convience of the House, make such a statement as to business as he did on the 17th June, 1889, when making a similar Motion to that carried on the 23rd May this year?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHSir, the hon. Gentleman cannot expect me to answer this question to-day. I hope to be able to make a statement in the course of a few days.
