§ MR. H. J. WILSON (York., W.R., Holmfirth)Can the right hon. Gentleman, the Leader of the House, say when it is intended to proceed with the Second Reading of the Education Bill?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYNo, Sir; at all events, it cannot be taken before Thursday week. If the hon. Gentleman will put down a Question for Thursday next, I will try to give him a more definite answer.
MR. T. M. HEALYIS the right hon. Gentleman able to say what Bills he has in his mind to proceed with before he takes the Second Reading of the Irish Land Bill? Will he take the Evidence in Criminal Cases Bill and that class of Bill?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYNo, Sir.
MR. T. M. HEALYWill the right hon. Gentleman tell us whether he has any Bilk in his mind which will take precedence of the Land Bill?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI do not think this is a very convenient time to make a general statement on the subject of the business, but, as the House knows, there are some Bills before the Land Bill which certainly ought to be and must be taken before it.
§ DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)It would be a convenience to Members interested in the Army Estimates if the right hon. Gentleman would say when they are likely to come on, and whether they will be taken in their proper order?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe Army Estimates will certainly not be taken next Friday. I will inform the House when they will be proceeded with.
