§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when he proposes to ask the House to go into Committee of Supply on the Civil Service Estimates.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am afraid I can give no anticipation at the present moment of the day on which the Civil Service Estimates will be introduced, as we have to do a great deal of financial business before then.
§ MR. JOHN REDMOND () WaterfordWill the light hon. Gentleman undertake to give us full notice. My hon. Friend has in the ballot obtained the first place for a motion on going into Committee on the Civil Service Estimates, and wishes to take the opportunity thus afforded him of raising the Irish University question. Irish members are very anxious to have fair notice as to when that question will come on.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI will endeavour to give reasonable notice. I suppose the hon. Gentleman does not mean long notice.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDAs long as possible. Can we receive a week's notice?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI do not like to give pledges which cannot be fulfilled, but I will endeavour to give a week's notice.
