HC Deb 05 August 1898 vol 64 c291
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

May I ask the Leader of the House whether the Ordnance Survey Vote will be disposed of on Saturday or Monday?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

If the Vote is not disposed of this evening it will be put down for Monday. I do not think that I can ask the House of Commons to sit on Saturday for the purpose of discussing this particular Vote.

MR. LEWIS (Flint Boroughs)

When will the Indian Budget be taken?

THE FIRST LORD OF TEE TREASURY

I should be extremely surprised if the day on which it is taken does not turn out to be Thursday. As the honourable Member knows, Monday is the last day for Supply; the First Reading of the Appropriation Bill will be taken on Tuesday, the Second Reading on Wednesday, and the Committee stage on Thursday. The Indian Budget will be taken after the Committee stage.

MR. LEWIS

Then the Indian Budget will not be taken before Thursday?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I do not think it possible.
