HC Deb 22 March 1897 vol 47 c1126
MR. MCLEOD

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, for the convenience of Scottish Members, he will state when it is proposed to take the Scottish Estimates?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I will endeavour to give due notice of the time when the Scotch Estimates will come on. But I am afraid I cannot at the present moment forecast precisely when that day will be.

MR. MCLEOD

May we assume that they will not be taken before Easter?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

Yes; I think you may.
