§ MR. JOHN REDMONDI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the fact that only three Irish Votes in Supply have been passed, namely, the Votes for Education, Law Charges, and Supreme Court of Judicature, and that twenty-five Irish Votes for sums amounting to close upon five millions of money still remain to be considered, and will he state what opportunity he intends to provide for their discussion.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.I cannot hold out any anticipation, of Irish Votes being taken on any of the remaining allotted days for Supply. Perhaps there may be another opportunity for their discussion.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDDoes the right hon. Gentleman seriously suggest that there will be another opportunity for the discussion of Irish Votes? Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that out of a total of 144 Votes ninety-eight still remain to be considered? Does the right hon. Gentleman, in view of that, still seriously say there may be another opportunity of debating Irish Supply?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI may be allowed to hope so. It depends on the use the House makes of the time.
