HC Deb 09 June 1898 vol 58 cc1249-50
DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

May I ask the right honourable Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury, with regard to this very important Bill, whether he will arrange to put it down as the first order, so that there may be ample opportunity for its discussion?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I am afraid that I cannot give a distinct pledge, but I hope the order for the second reading may be put down for an early day, probably Tuesday.

SIR J. LUBBOCK (London University)

I thought it was to be put down for Monday?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

It will be put down for Monday but we propose to take the Budget Bill first, and I should not think it probable that this Bill will be reached. Of course, if from any accident the Budget Bill is not taken on Monday, this Bill will take its place.
