HC Deb 21 May 1901 vol 94 cc784-5
MR. JAMES LOWTHER

I beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman what will be the business on Thursday?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Supposing we do not finish the debate on the Second Reading of the Finance Bill to-day, we shall finish it on Thursday. But the first Order of the day on Thursday will be the motion for the adjournment for the Whitsuntide holidays. On Friday I propose to put down first the Order for the Joint Committee on Queen Anne's Bounty. It has been on the Paper for a long time, and it is extremely inconvenient that it should hang fire any longer. The Civil List will be the second Order, and the Demise of the Crown Bill the third Order. There are also two Votes on the Army Estimates which, for financial reasons, it is very important that we should take.

DR. FARQUHARSON

Which Votes are to be taken?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Vote 10 and the Ordnance Vote.

MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)

Does the right hon. Gentleman propose to have a morning sitting on Friday?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir.

MR. JOHN REDMOND

What will be the business after the Whitsuntide holidays?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will repeat that question on Thursday.
