§ MR. W. E. MACARTNEY (Antrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what course the Government propose to take with the Land Law (Ireland) Bill—the second order on the paper—in case the debate on the, first order—the Welsh Disestablishment Bill—concludes this evening.
§ SIR W. HARCOURTI am unable to make any statement with regard to the course to be taken with that Bill. I am sorry the Chief Secretary is prevented from being here by illness.
§ MR. MACARTNEYCan the right hon. gentleman state that the Bill will not be taken before Monday?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTI cannot say.
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)I wish to ask the right hon. gentleman whether he will adhere to the arrangement made by the Chief Secretary that, when the first reading stage of the Welsh 1487 Church Bill is disposed of the Irish Land Bill will be proceeded with.
§ SIR W. HARCOURTI hope so; if the Chief Secretary so stated.
