§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)I do not know whether the right hon. Gentleman can give the House any information as to public business, and I would take this opportunity to ask him whether the Brussels Convention is likely to be brought forward soon, and when. I should also like to know whether due notice will be given as to when it will be brought forward.
§ MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs)Two days.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURWe hope to take that matter between the Committee and the Report stages of the Education Bill, and I shall endeavour to give full notice.
MR. GIBSON BOWLESCan the right hon. Gentleman say in what form the financial resolution which will be necessary to authorise the expenditure will be introduced?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am informed that no financial resolution will be introduced. I cannot, of course, discuss the matter now, but as I understand it, the resolution which is to be brought forward in connection with the Convention is not one that requires action on the part of the House in Committee of the Whole House.
MR. GIBSON BOWLESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Convention provides for certain absolute and inevitable expenditure?
§ [No answer was returned.]
