§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)Will the right hon. Gentleman say what business is to be taken in the near future?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURTo-morrow the business will be the Army Supplementary Estimate", if they are not finished to-day, and the Report of the Supply taken yesterday. Then we propose to introduce Bills and appoint committees, and that business should carry us over to the end of the sitting on Thursday.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANCan the right hon. Gentleman say what Bills and what committees he refers to?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe Bills introduced will be the Scotch Licensing Bill, the Employment of Children Bill, and the Naval Reserve Bill—not the Education Bill, or the Irish Land Bill, or the Sugar Convention Bill.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe Scotch Bill will not be introduced under what is called the ten-minutes rule?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI will consult the Lord Advocate as to that. If the right hon. Gentleman desires to have a more lengthened discussion, it can be managed. The committees that are to be moved for are the National Expenditure Committee and the Municipal Trading Committee.
§ SIR JOHN COLOMBWhen are the Army and Navy Estimates likely to come on?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThese Estimates will be brought on early next week. The Army Estimates will be taken first.
SIR HOWARD VINCENTHaving regard to the fact that the Motion with regard to Volunteers only secured second place in the ballot, can the right hon. Gentleman afford some facilities for the discussion of this very important subject?
§ MR. BRODRICKWe propose to pursue the ordinary practice in discussing the Army Estimates.
