HC Deb 06 July 1903 vol 124 c1417
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what the business will be on Thursday and Friday.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I hope the Committee stage of the Irish Land Bill will terminate to-morrow (Tuesday). In that event I shall take the South African Loans Bill on Wednesday. On Thursday the Supply will be the Education Vote, and on Friday I propose to take the Naval Works Loans Bill.

MR. LOUGH (Islington, W.

When will the Sugar Convention Bill be taken, and will any information be distributed as to the doings of the secret Commission in Brussels.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

What the hon. Gentleman calls "the secret doings," I think I have explained all about. They are not secret at all. They are simply the doings of a Commission whose reports are, from the nature of the Convention, not to be secret at all, but are to come to us through the Belgian Government. I do not know whether there is any information relative to the Bill which can with advantage be circulated, but I will inquire. I cannot give the precise date when the Bill will be taken.

Forward to
