§ SIR G. TREVELYAN (Bridgeton, Glasgow)I should like to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether I am right in understanding him to have said that the Lords' Amendments to the Tithes Bill will be taken on Thursday. 1237 I would also ask whether he can state what business will be taken on Friday?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI have every reason to hope that it will be possible to take the Lords' Amendments to the Tithes Bill on Thursday.
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHIt will be substantially the first Order, although we may have to take one or two small matters before it. I shall, however, be able to make a positive statement tomorrow on the subject. Arrangements have been made by which we hope to get the Amendments made by the Lords printed and circulated to-morrow, or, at all events, made available to hon. Members at 12 o'clock. On Friday we shall proceed with the Bills which are on the Paper for to-day, and with other Bills.
§ SIR G. TREVELYANWill the right hon. Gentleman say definitely when the Government will move the Speaker out of the Chair for the Civil Service Estimates?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI hope to do so on Monday, but we must take these measures by themselves first of all. One business must be finished before we go on with the other.
