HC Deb 01 August 1904 vol 139 c283
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, can he now state what arrangements have been made for the allocation of a day during this session for the reception and discussion by the House of the Report of the Public Accounts Committee.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I do not think it possible to find an opportunity this session for the discussion of the Report of the Public Accounts Committee.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES

Could not one of the three extra days to be allotted to Supply be devoted to it?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Oh, yes, if the House generally agree to give up to the subject one of the three extra allotted days, it might be clone, but I do not think such general agreement is likely.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE (Carnarvon Boroughs)

Why not take Friday next?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I am afraid we have business more important for that day.
