§ MR. H. H. FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)It is scarcely carrying out the intention with which the House agreed to a Resolution to appoint this Committee that the Motion should be set down night after night at a time when it cannot be taken. It is two years since it was sanctioned, and it is of vital importance to proceed with the inquiry. Will the right hon. Gentleman agree to take the Motion at a time when the Amendment can be discussed and a decision taken?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover SquareI thought I had made a statement which would have been considered satisfactory—to the effect that soon after Easter I would ask my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House to arrange that the Motion should come on, say, about, eleven o'clock, giving an opportunity to Welsh Members to make their speeches and their protest. I hope an hour or a little longer may be considered sufficient for the purpose, and then I hope the Committee may at once proceed to business.
§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)May I ask do the Government propose to keep a House to-morrow evening for the measures standing on the Order Book?
§ MR. SPEAKERIt is not the opportunity to ask the question now the House is engaged with Unopposed Motions.
