§ MR. SEXTONI wish to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he considers 944 that the general despatch of business will be facilitated by putting Report of Supply down before the Training Colleges (Ireland) Bill?
§ MR. LEAAre we to understand that the Training Colleges Bill will not be taken to-night?
§ MR. GOSCHENNo; it will not be taken to-night. In reply to the hon. Member for West Belfast I may point out that Report of Supply does not usually take much time, and it is essential we should get it this week, if the Prorogation is to take place next week.
§ MR. SEXTONHas it not occurred to the right hon. Gentleman as an old Parliamentary hand that advantage might be taken to discuss Report of Supply at great length, simply to prevent the Training Colleges Bill being reached?
§ MR. GOSCHENIt has occurred to me that there might be a lengthy discussion under such circumstances, but on the other hand, if the Training Colleges Bill were taken first, Report of Supply might be thrown over to next week, and there would be some reason to complain that the Session is being unduly prolonged.
§ MR. LEAIs there any intention of taking the Coinage Bill to-morrow?
§ MR. GOSCHENYes, Sir; if there is time. It will come on after the Training Colleges Bill.
§ MR. E. ROBERTSONDoes the President of the Board of Agriculture intend to take the Markets and Fairs Bill?
§ MR. CHAPLINIf possible.
