§ MR. A. J. BALFOURadded: As I am on my legs, may I take this opportunity of saying to the House, on quite a different topic, what I think they ought to know, so that there may be no misunderstanding? The Supplementary Estimates will be in the hands of hon. Members, I hope, to-morrow, but they will differ in substance from the Supplementary Estimates already presented in one small particular, which is that Supplementary Estimates have also to be presented with regard to the friendly societies', trustees', and savings banks' deficiencies. If I did not announce this, I might be accused of having foisted a new set of Estimates on the House.
§ MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs)Then does the right hon. Gentleman withdraw the present Estimate?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURYes.
§ Adjourned at twenty-five minutes before six o'clock.
