§ SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury in what order Army and Navy Votes will be taken To-morrow?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYOn Friday the first Vote will be the War Office Vote, and the remaining Army Votes will be taken in regular order, beginning with Vote 8, on which the Financial Secretary to the War Office will make his statement in regard to wages.
§ MR. E. ROBERTSONasked when the Navy Votes would be taken?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe Shipbuilding Vote and the remainder of the Navy Votes will probably be taken on Tuesday next.
§ MR. G. LAMBERT (Devon, South Molton)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can state when the Supplementary Education Estimate will be taken?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI propose next week to take both Tuesday and Friday for Supply, but I cannot state for certain whether the Supplementary Education Vote will be taken on Tuesday or Friday. I think it will be more convenient to take it to-morrow week.
§ SIR E. ASHMEAD - BARTLETTasked when the Colonial Vote would be taken?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI cannot say for certain. There will be three more days after to-morrow for Supply; and on Tuesday, August 2nd, the Report of Supply will be taken. I will endeavour to allocate the days I have at my disposal in the most convenient manner, but I cannot say whether there will be a day for the Colonial Vote.
MR. T M. HEALYasked whether one of the three additional days for Supply would be given to Irish Supply?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYNo additional day can be given to Ireland. I would remind hon. Gentlemen from Ireland that there have been four days devoted exclusively for Irish Supply.
§ MR. DILLONI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in view of the latest news from Constantinople and Crete, he will take the Report of the Foreign Office Vote at a reasonable hour to-night?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYSo far as we know there is nothing in the latest news from Constantinople or Crete which would supply fresh material for Debate; but I hope if we make good progress with the Public Health (Scotland) Bill, we will be able to bring on the Report stage of the Vote at an hour at which hon. Members can give expression to their views.
