§ MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in the event of a Saturday Sitting, the Debate under the Standing Order will end at 12 o'clock; and whether he will undertake not to suspend the Standing Order, so that hon. Members may not go on into Sunday with the Estimates?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEThere is no question of suspending the Twelve o'clock Rule.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOUR: Perhapsit would be convenient if I were to ask the right hon. Gentleman, in the event—I hope the improbable event—of the House assenting to a Saturday Sitting, what is the business he proposes to take?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEI will not follow the example of the right hon. Gentleman, but will say, in the probable event of a Sitting on Saturday, we propose to proceed with Supply.
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEThat must depend upon what is done to-day.
