HC Deb 31 March 1903 vol 120 cc692-3
LORD EDMUND FITZMAURICE (Wiltshire, Cricklade)

Has the Prime Minister any statement to make as to the course of business?

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E

The Orders for Wednesday will include the Municipal Trading Motion, the Army (Annual) Bill, and other matters not disposed of on the Orders of to-day. On Thursday, if the Speaker can be got out of the Chair before midnight, the Civil Service Estimates will be proceeded with, but I propose to take uncontroversial Votes as far as possible. On Monday I hope to take the Scotch Licensing Bill and the Committee stage of the Army (Annual) Bill. On Tuesday, contrary to what I led the House to expect, I propose to have the London Education Bill, and to take the Third Reading of the Army (Annual) Bill. On Wednesday next week I shall propose a Motion for the holidays of such a character as, when carried, will prevent other business, either Government or private, being taken.

COLONEL WELBY

When will the Army (Annual) Bill be printed?

MR. BRODRICK

I hope in the course of to-day or to-morrow.
