HC Deb 01 May 1894 vol 24 cc48-9
SIR G. BADEN-ROWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, now that the Debate on the Scotch Standing Committee is completed, whether he will carry out his promise of the 23rd of April and name an early day for the postponed discussion of the proposed Uganda settlement?

SIR W. HARCOURT

The Government cannot make any arrangements for the Debate on Uganda until the Debate on the First Reading of the Registration Bill and the Debate on the Second Readme of the Budget Bill has been con-eluded. The Budget Bill will be taken on Monday.

COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT

When will the Second Reading of the Budget Bill be taken?

SIR W. HARCOURT

On Monday.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN (Birmingham, W.)

Then the right hon. Gentle- man will not take the Debate till after Monday.

SIR W. HARCOURT

No.

SIR G. BADEN-POWELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman promise it shall not he taken until after the Whitsuntide Recess?

SIR W. HARCOURT

Our anxiety is to put it down on the first fair chance. I really cannot say what will be done until we have made progress with the other business before the House.

SIR G. BADEN-POWELL

What will be the business the first day after the Recess?

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
