§ THE IRISH EDUCATION BILL.
§ (12.20.) Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."—(Sir John Gorst.)
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI see the hon. Member for West Belfast (Mr. Sexton) in his place, and I take this opportunity to qualify the statement I made in reply to a question from him on Friday. I then told the hon. Member that I hoped to bring on the Irish Education Bill on Friday next, but I find we are in some uncertainty owing to the state of Supply and the near approach of the close of the financial year. It may be necessary to set down Supply for Friday. I hope not, and I have every desire to carry out my engagement. I, however, take the opportunity of telling the hon. Member that my undertaking must be subject to this qualification, the necessities of Supply.
§ House adjourned at twenty minutes after Twelve o'clock.
