HC Deb 09 September 1893 vol 17 cc755-6
MR. JAMES LOWTHER (Kent, Thanet)

I desire to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the fact that some questions connected with the Board of Trade have been left undiscussed, he will allow the Report on that Vote to come on at some hour this evening when it can be properly discussed?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir W. HARCOURT,) Derby

As we have all undergone tremendous inconvenience by meeting on a Saturday, I hope we will make the best progress with business we can. The Vote for the Board of Trade was taken with the general consen of the House.

MR. T. H. BOLTON (St. Pancras, N.)

I desire to raise a question on the Bankruptcy Vote last night, but refrained in deference to the understanding that the Vote would be agreed to at 12 o'clock. I therefore hope that the Report of the Vote will be brought on at a time to enable me very briefly to raise this question.

SIR W. HARCOURT

I can only again express the hope that this unfortunate Saturday Sitting will be availed of to expedite business as much as possible.
