§ *MR. HERBERT LEWISI desire to ask the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury what position the House will be in on 20th April? I understand the Budget will be introduced on the first Thursday after the Easter Recess, and, if I remember rightly, the right hon. Gentleman said that some financial business would be taken on the Monday after the Easter Recess. My reason for asking is that on 20th April a Bill, which is of very great interest to the agricultural population of Wales, is to come before the House. It is a Bill of a character that may, I think, be acceptable to both sides of the House. Having regard to the fact that there is no mention of Wales in the Queen's Speech, I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman if he will reserve the 20th April to the Welsh Members.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI cannot promise with regard to any particular Wednesday, but I think it is very probable that we shall be able to reserve that day. I do not think the Irish Members will desire to discuss the Irish Bill on the first Wednesday after the holidays.
§ Motion agreed to.
