HC Deb 05 November 1902 vol 114 c150
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

Will the right hon. Gentleman say what the business will be tomorrow and Friday?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Tomorrow afternoon and on Friday the Education Bill will be taken. This evening and tomorrow evening will be devoted to the financial proceedings in connection with the Vote in Supply for the Transvaal. If I get the Vote tonight I shall take Report tomorrow. The Education Bill will be the second Order tomorrow evening.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)

I wish to ask whether, in view of the importance of the question raised by the Supply, the right hon. Gentleman will not give an afternoon for Supply and take the evening for education; or, if he cannot do that, whether he will endeavour to insure during the discussion of Supply the presence of an adequate number of Members in the House.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I hope an adequate number of Members will attend; but I think it will be very inconvenient unnecessarily to interrupt the discussion on the Education Bill. It must be interrupted on Monday next.
