HC Deb 14 September 1893 vol 17 c1151
SIR R. TEMPLE

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in reference to the progress of Supply, he can mention approximately the date on which he hopes to cause the Indian Budget to be laid before the House?

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

The Indian Budget will be taken on the day fixed for the Second Reading of the Appropriation Bill.

SIR R. TEMPLE

When will that be?

SIR W. HARCOURT

I think the hon. Baronet is, perhaps, in as good a position as I am to answer that question.

SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

Will the Indian Budget be put down before the Appropriation Bill?

SIR W. HARCOURT

The Appropriation Bill takes precedence when it is put down.
