§ SIR RICHARD TEMPLE (Surrey, Kingston)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to the Vote on Account embracing all branches of the Civil Service, he will put it down for some day earlier than Monday, 27th March?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEI am sorry to say that, in consequence of the failure of the Government to bring to a close last week the business of Supply then in hand, they are not in a condition to name the exact day when they can propose the Vote on Account; but it cannot be proposed during the present week.
