HC Deb 18 July 1904 vol 138 c292
MR. BUCHANAN (Perthshire, E.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government intends to follow the same course of procedure with regard to their present Army Organisation Scheme as they did with regard to their last scheme of 1902, and to submit a Resolution of approval for the consideration of the House.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I imagine the Question in which the hon. Member is interested would be in order upon the War Office Vote, end I hope an opportunity on that Vote will be found to deal with it.

MR. BUCHANAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman invite the opinion and the Vote of the House upon the merits of this scheme as was done in regard to the last?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

If the hon. Member is suggesting that I should devote a day outside Supply and put down a separate Resolution, my reply is that I do not propose to take that course.

MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL

Does the right hon. Gentleman contemplate fixing both the War Office Vote and the Colonial Vote for the same day?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir. I said there would be two days.
