HC Deb 21 May 1891 vol 353 c808
MR. SHAW LEFEVRE (Bradford, Central)

I think it will be for the convenience of the House if the Chancellor of the Exchequer will state the-course of business, and whether the Government propose to take the Land Bill to-morrow.

MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)

May I ask what is the meaning of the second Order on the Paper—Supply,—Progress; are we to understand that Supply will be taken in the event only of the Land Bill getting through Committee?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

Yes; Supply will only be taken in the event of the Land Bill going through in time. If not, we shall to-morrow proceed with the Land Bill at the usual hour. On Monday, if we are through with the Land Bill either to-day or to-morrow, we shall take a Vote on Account as the first proceeding in Supply.

MR. PICTON (Leicester)

Will the Chancellor of the Exchequer tell us-when the Bill to provide free education will be introduced?

MR. GOSCHEN

As soon as we know-when the Land Bill is through, we shall be able to give a better idea as to the time.

MR. PICTON

Through Committee?

MR. GOSCHEN

I have given an answer to the hon. Member, and I have applied it to the whole Bill.
