HC Deb 15 May 1902 vol 108 c386
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

I have to ask the First Lord of the Treasury what will be the business after Whitsuntide.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I propose to take Supply on the Monday on which the House meets. At the afternoon sitting the Supply will be Class 4, the Education Estimates; and in the evening Class 5, the Consular and Diplomatic Votes. On Tuesday, the 27th, we shall begin the discussion in Committee on the Finance Bill, and continue that from day to day. One of the evening sittings, on Tuesday or Wednesday, as I have already said, will be devoted, among other things, to the discussion of the three Committees, the references to which will be put on the Paper.

MR. CREMER

When is it proposed to again take the Loan Bill?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I take it that the Committee stage of the Bill will be quite uncontroversial; as at present advised, I shall not take the Third Reading until we have disposed of the Committee on the Budget.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

I should like it to be quite clear whether other Votes in Class 5 as well as the Consular and Diplomatic Vote will be taken at the evening sitting of Monday week.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Yes, I do not think there is any objection to that.
