HC Deb 30 June 1902 vol 110 cc315-6
MR. TREVELYAN (Yorkshire, W. R., Elland)

Mayask whether, for the convenience of Members following the Education Bill, the First Lord of the Treasury will have it printed each day as amended in Committee.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No doubt it is convenient, and in accordance with practice, that from time to time the Bill should be reprinted as amended in Committee. But to do so each day would, I think, be rather going beyond the practice. I will take care, however, to see that the Bill is reprinted at convenient intervals.

MR. CORRIE GRANT (Warwickshire, Rugby)

What is wanted is that the first and second Clauses should be reprinted as far as amended at the head of the Amendment Paper.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

That would be easy, and it might be convenient; but, as we slowly make progress with the measure, a good deal would have to be reprinted, andwould rather not lay that down as a principle.

MR. JAMES LOWTHER (Kent, Thanet)

Is it understood that both sittings tomorrow and on Wednesday are to be devoted to the Education Bill?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

That is my intention at present; but if it is necessary to make a change, I hope the House will permit me, with, of course, full notice, to adopt the evening sitting for some other purpose.
