HC Deb 07 November 1902 vol 114 cc447-8
MR. A. J. BALFOUR

It is irregular, but it may be convenient to the House that I should say that on Tuesday Next I propose to move a Resolution (which will be placed on the Paper tonight) which will, I hope, have for its object to enable Parliament to deal with the Bill on which we are now engaged before the Christmas holidays.

SIR. H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Striling Burghs)

All I need say is this. The right hon. Gentleman makes his announcement in somewhat covert language. If it implies the abridgement of debate, we shall meet any such Resolution with the most determined opposition.
