§ *SIR JOHN COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to the nature and importance of the Irish Land Bill, he can give an assurance that a sufficient interval will be allowed to elapse between the conclusion of the Committee and the commencement of the Report stages of the Bill; and whether he can indicate what number of days interval he proposes to allow.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am afraid I cannot give any precise estimate as to the number of days that will elapse between the two stages, but in view of the amount of business in hand it will be substantial.
