HC Deb 20 August 1894 vol 29 c31
MR. R. WALLACE (Edinburgh, E.)

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how it was that an English Vote was to be taken before the Scotch Secretary's Vote, and said he had understood that the last-named Vote was to be taken first in Committee of Supply.

SIR W. HARCOURT

The other day when we agreed to postpone certain Votes the first appeal was made to me by my hon. Friend the Member for Carnarvon (Mr. Lloyd-George) with regard to the Registrar General's Vote. It was a case of first come first served, and my hon. Friend (Mr. R. Wallace) was behindhand on that occasion. The Scotchmen being next they got the next place, and then came the Irishmen, who got the third place.
