§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)What is the course of business to be this week?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI propose to take Supply as usual on Thursday. Apart from that, the programme for the week will be Committee on the Budget, after which will come the Education Bill. We shall go on with Class 4 of Supply, as arranged. As we have already had a full afternoon sitting debate on the Education Estimates, I do not propose to put the Vote down first, but we shall take other Votes in the same class.
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLasked when it was proposed to take Irish Supply.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURNo day has been fixed. I shall be anxious to meet the convenience of the Irish Members in any arrangement that can be come to. I ought to add that at the evening sitting on Thursday, I shall take Class 3, Votes 7, 8, and 9.
§ LORD CHARLES BERESFORDI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when he intends to take Vote 12, Navy Estimates.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURAs the House is aware, we were disappointed in the opportunity we hoped to obtain of taking this Vote. I cannot give my noble friend an absolute pledge, but I hope to be able to put the Vote down for a Friday sitting at no distant date. I think that would really be more convenient to the noble Lord than the original arrangement.
