§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)May I ask which three days are to be devoted to Supply next week?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI propose to take Supply on two days next week. I am not yet in a position to indicate the Votes that will be set down for discussion, but my hon. friend the Member for the Wellington Division of Somerset will endeavour to ascertain, through the ordinary channels, what Votes it is most desired to discuss. It would not be fair that Tuesday should be an allotted day for Supply purposes, as part of the sitting will be taken up by the discussion on the Motion for the suspension of the Twelve o'Clock Rule.
§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)May I point out that only two days have been given to the Irish Estimates? I hope another opportunity will be provided for the discussion of Irish affairs in Committee of Supply.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI quite recognise that some further time must be giver to Irish Estimates, and I will inquire what particular Estimates can be taken to suit the general convenience.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDWe on these Benches have already expressed a desire that the Vote for the Queen's Colleges be taken, as upon it the whole question of University education in Ireland can be discussed.
§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid.)I hope that no promise will be made to the hon. Member for Waterford which will preclude a full discussion of the case of Constable Anderson.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDIf the right hon. Gentleman has to make up his mind between the relative merits of the case of Constable Anderson and University education in Ireland I hope he will take a serious view of the matter.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI feel at a loss between these opposing Irish claims, but I shall try, as I always try, to make the best arrangements as to the business of the House, irrespective of Party.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDI shall put another Question on the Paper for Thursday.
