§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYIt may be convenient to the House I should state that on Monday I propose to move to suspend the 12 o'clock rule for the remainder of the Session. It is a later date this year than last. After that we shall proceed with the Third Reading of the Irish Local Government Bill, and after that, again, my right honourable Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer will introduce in Committee the Colonial Loans Bill. I stated yesterday that that Bill would be introduced to-day, but I find it must be introduced in Committee of the whole House, and, therefore, of necessity, it must be put off till Monday. After these have been disposed of, certain Bills, which I trust are uncontroversial, will be proceeded with. On Tuesday we shall probably take the Vaccination Bill.
§ MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.)Will the right honourable Gentleman promise that the terms of the Motion will be placed on the notice Paper on Monday?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYNo, Sir, I do not think that is the usual practice.
§ SIR W. FOSTER (Derby, Ilkeston)Will the Vaccination Bill be the first order on Tuesday?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYYes, in all probability.
§ MR. DAVITT (Mayo, S.)Will the right honourable Gentleman kindly say Mien the next stage of the Prisons Bill will be taken?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI understand the proceedings on that Bill are nearly terminated, but I am afraid I cannot exactly fix a day for it.
§ MR. MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)When does the right honourable Gentleman propose to take the Indian Budget?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI think some time will elapse before that is taken.
