HC Deb 18 March 1895 vol 31 c1269
MR. H. S. FOSTER (Suffolk, Lowestoft)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will arrange that an opportunity shall be afforded to the House, in considering the Vote on Account, to discuss the policy of the Education Department towards voluntary schools?

SIR. W. HARCOURT

I cannot make any conditions with respect to any particular subject in the discussion of the Vote on Account.

MR. C. E. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)

When is the Vote on Account likely to be taken?

SIR W. HARCOURT

Shortly before the close of the financial year.

MR. H. S. FOSTER

Will it be taken at a proper time, so as to allow of discussion?

SIR W. HARCOURT

The question is: What is "a proper time"?
