§ On the Vote of £528,807, to complete the sum for Public Education, Ireland,
§ MR. FLYNNsaid the Irish Members would like to have an opportunity of discussing this vote on the report stage.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURsaid they could not foresee the course of the next day's Debate, but he thought they ought to finish the Navy Estimates before they separated on the next day. On the Army Estimates there were important questions to be raised, but he thought more important questions were likely to be raised on the Navy Estimates. It was possible that the hon. Member might not be better off the following day than he was that night, but if he liked to take the chance he had no objection.
§ Vote agreed to.
