HC Deb 20 April 1899 vol 70 c64
CAPTAIN SINCLAIR (Forfar)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Ordnance Factories Vote and the War Office Vote will be taken to-morrow?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I understand that it will not be in accordance with the wish of honourable Gentlemen opposite that I should take the War Office Vote or the Ordnance Factory Vote to-morrow. Under these circumstances the discussion will be deferred. I propose to begin with Vote 10 and take Votes 7, 8, and 9, and the other Army Votes; also certain uncontroversial Civil Service Votes in Class II., Vote 9, Mercantile Marine Services; Vote 10, Bankruptcy Department of the Board of Trade; Vote 17, Lunacy Commission; and Vote 25, Office of Works and Public Buildings.
