§ MR. A. O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)I desire to ask your ruling, Sir, on a point of order arising out of the appearance on the Paper of a notice in the name of the hon. Gentleman the Member for Barrow (Mr. Caine). The notice was on the Paper yesterday. The hon. Member had an opportunity of moving his Amendment had he chosen to avail himself of it; but he did not do so. Under the circumstances, I desire to know whether it 881 is competent for the hon. Member to move the Amendment to-day?
§ * MR. SPEAKERIt is usually the case that Motions standing in the names of Members on the Estimates are carried on to a future day. They are taken off if the Members putting them down desire it.
§ MR. A. O'CONNORThe question is, whether the Motion can be made today?
§ * MR. SPEAKERThere is nothing out of order. If the other business is disposed of, and the Question is that I leave the Chair, it will be competent for the hon. Member for Barrow to move the Motion which stands in his name.
§ MR. A. O'CONNORWhile you are in the Chair?
§ * MR. SPEAKERYes. Of course, the right of private Members is exhausted on first going into Committee on the Army Estimates; but on a Friday it is competent for the hon. Member to move the Motion on the Question that I leave the Chair. The term Army Estimates is misleading. "On going into Committee of Supply" is more regular; indeed, "Army Estimates" ought not to be there.
