HC Deb 18 June 1900 vol 84 cc298-9
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

May I ask what will be the business for next Thursday and Friday?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

My expectation is that the Railways (Prevention of Accidents) Bill will be taken on Thursday, and the Home Office Vote on Friday.

*SIR CHARLES DILKE

Is it certain we shall get the Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories and Workshops, on which the discussion of the Home. Office Vote turns, by Friday night? If we do not, will the right hon. Gentleman undertake not to proceed with that Vote?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I will make inquiry. If it is impossible to have the Vote circulated, I will not press the Vote under conditions which would render the-discussion of it more or loss nugatory.

*SIR CHARLES DILKE

We have been told the Report is in the hands of the printers. Perhaps we can have it in a day or two. I will put down a question for to-morrow.

MR. YEEBURGH

Do the Government intend to proceed with the Money-lending Bill?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I do not think I have any statement to make upon that subject, but it will, perhaps, be more appropriately raised in the course of the debate which is about to be initiated on my motion.
