HC Deb 15 April 1902 vol 106 cc287-8
MR. BRYCE

Can the Leader of the House give any indication as to the business for Friday and the probable course of the debate on the Budget?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

On Thursday there will be a general discussion on the Budget, and subsequently on the Report stage of the Resolutions. On Friday I propose to take Revenue Votes in Supply, beginning with the Postal Telegraphs Vote, which was not placed first last year.

SIR HENRY FOWLER (Wolverhampton, E.)

Will it be possible to discuss the proposed tax on corn on the Resolutions taken on Thursday?

SIR M. HICKS BEACH

Yes, but I hope this will not be necessary, as a special day is to be set apart for the Report stage, which can be used for that purpose.

SIR HENRY FOWLER

When is that; likely to be?

SIR M. HICKS BEACH

Probably on Monday.
