§ SIR W. HARCOURTI wish to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will put down the Foreign Office Vote on Friday next?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYAs I understand the right hon. Gentleman thinks the Debate on Foreign Affairs cannot be longer delayed than Friday next, I feel bound to accede to his request. I am sorry it should be so, because I fear that I shall not have the assistance of the Under Secretary by next Friday. But as the right hon. Gentleman wishes to go on with that nothing more can be said.
§ SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall)Is it expected that this Debate will be concluded in a single day?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI do not even know what the Debate is to be; but I do not imagine we shall get through the Foreign Office Estimates in a single day.
