§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."—(Sir J. Gorst.)
§ (5.49.) COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)Will the right hon. Gentleman say what will be the course of Business tomorrow and on Friday?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. GORST,) ChathamOn Thursday it is proposed to take the Indian Councils Bill as first Order, and the next Business will be the Vote on Account. When the Vote on Account is disposed of, the Committee on the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill will be proceeded with, and that Bill is not blocked by the Twelve o'Clock Rule. As to the Business on Friday, I cannot give any pledge, though I have heard my right hon. Friend say it was his intention to ask the House to take the Small Holdings Bill on that day.
§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)Will the right hon. Gentleman say for what period the Vote on Account will be taken—six weeks or two months?
§ SIR J. GORSTThe different items in the Vote will cover different periods according to the exigencies of Departments; but, speaking generally, it will be a Vote on Account for two months.
§ DR. TANNERWe all know what that means.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ House adjourned at ten minutes before Six o'clock.
