HC Deb 20 July 1899 vol 74 c1388
MR. BUCHANAN

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when the Supplementary Estimates will be laid upon the Table, and when they will be discussed; and are there to be Supplementary Estimates for the Army and Navy as well as for the Civil Service.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The Estimates will be laid on the table on Monday or Tuesday next. I think that no Supplementary Estimates for the Navy or Army will be included.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

Can the right hon. Gentleman make any statement as to business next week?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

It will depend a good deal upon to-night. Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will defer his question till to-morrow.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

Or as to Friday week?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

That is a question which I should be reluctant to answer now. It partly depends on the views of the Colonial Secretary, which he is not yet, probably, in a position to give me.
