HC Deb 07 April 1903 vol 120 c1254
MR. BLAKE (Longford, S.)

Has the right hon. Gentleman made any arrangements with regard to the Second Reading of the Irish Land Bill?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

It was intended to take the Second Reading of the Irish Land Bill on the Monday after the return from the holidays, the 27th, but as that day has been allocated to the discussion of the Vote of Censure in connection with the Penrhyn Quarry dispute, it will be impossible to take the Irish Land Bill on that day. I will, however, take the Second Reading as soon as I can after that date, but I cannot pledge myself as to the exact day.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Will the Bill be taken in that week?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I hope so—in that week.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

What Supply is to be taken when the House meets after the holidays?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I shall take Class 1 on the day that the House resumes, and then the Estimates as to the Board of Agriculture. These, I think, will occupy two days.
