HC Deb 27 February 1893 vol 9 cc443-4
MR. JAMES LOWTHER

May I ask when a day will be definitely fixed for the introduction of the Supplementary Estimates, and whether they will be taken in the order in which they appear?

MR. W. E. GLADSTONE

The Estimates will be proceeded with this evening, if time permits.

VISCOUNT WOLMER (Edinburgh, W.)

I wish to ask when the Army Estimates will be taken?

MR. JOHNSTON

I rise to a point of order, Sir. I beg to draw your attention to the fact that when the noble Lord rose there were cries of "Pigott" from the Benches behind me (the National Benches.)

MR. SPEAKER

I hope that no unparliamentary expression of that sort will be used. It did not reach my ears. If such expressions are used and reach me I will take notice of them.

MR. JOHNSTON

If the cries are repeated I will call your attention to the fact, Sir.

MR. W. E. GLADSTONE

The Army and Navy Estimates have not yet been circulated; but the Navy Estimates are ready for circulation, and the Army Estimates are in a forward state. Probably to-morrow I shall be in a position to state that either the Army or Navy Estimates will be the first Order on Monday next.

MR. GOURLEY

Will the Navy Estimates be accompanied by the usual explanatory Memorandum?

SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH

I laid the Navy Estimates on the Table last week. Copies are in the Vote Office this afternoon. When circulated, the Estimates will be accompanied by the usual statement.

LORD G. HAMILTON (Middlesex, Ealing)

When will the statement be in our hands?

SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH

The statement will be in the hands of Members to-morrow morning.

MR. HANBURY

When may we look for the Army Estimates?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I hope they will be circulated on Wednesday morning.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

Will the correspondence between the Chief Secretary for Ireland and the National Education Board be circulated before Wednesday?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

I have done my best to get it circulated. It is in the hands of the printers.
