HC Deb 10 July 1900 vol 85 cc1126-7
MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON

When will the Memorandum on Water-tube Boilers be in the hands of Members? Will the Navy Vote be taken on Friday?

MR. GOSCHEN

In all probability the Navy Estimates will be taken on Friday, and I hope that the Memorandum will be issued in time before the discussion. It depends, however, on the final print of the Memorandum whether the Estimates will be taken; but I am almost sure that they will.

*SIR CHARLES DILKE

We shall know, at the latest, to-morrow?

MR. GOSCHEN

Yes.

MR. TENNANT (Berwickshire)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is still in hopes of being able to proceed with the Factories and Workshops Bill.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Yes. I hope rto make a statement on Monday, and until then my hopes are not of a defined kind.

MR. DILLON

When is it proposed to take the Third Reading of the Irish Tithes Bill? Will it be put down as the first Order of the Day?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I hope to take lit as the first Order on Thursday. Of course, it depends in part on the progress made with the Agricultural Holdings Bill.
