HC Deb 03 August 1903 vol 126 cc1293-4
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

asked as to the course of business.

MR. A. J BALFOUR

I hope I may take after twelve o'clock to-night the Report of the Sugar Convention (Expenses and Duties) Resolution; Board of Agriculture and Fisheries Bill, Second Reading; Poor Law (Dissolution of Scholl Districts and Adjustments) Bill, Third Reading; Public Buildings Expenses Bill, Second Reading; Ireland Development Grant Bill, consideration as amended; Naval Works Bill, Third Reading and Patriotic Fund Bill, Committee. There are certain Supplementary Estimates which we must take after twelve o'clock in order to comply with the Standing Order; but these, I believe, are quite uncontroversial.

MR. BUCHANAN (Perthshire, E.)

Can the right hon. Gentleman say as to Wednesday and Friday?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, it is impossible to foresee the exact course of the business.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

When is Supply to be closed?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Thursday is the penultimate day.

MR. FLYNN

Will the Government give any facilities for the Butter Bill, to which so much time has been devoted?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I am afraid I cannot give any promise of that kind.

Forward to
