§ CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can now state when he proposes to afford the House an opportunity of discussing the recently proposed scheme of Army Reform.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.As the House already knows, we propose to take the debate on the vote of censure on Monday. On Tuesday it is proposed to take the Motion for the suspension of the Twelve o'Clock Rule; and afterwards the Supplementary Estimates and a stage of a Treasury Bill, which must be passed in the course of the present session. On Wednesday it will probably be convenient to take Irish Supply, and on Thursday the Home Office and other Estimates, and either Navy or Army Votes. On Friday I propose to take the Defaulting Authorities Bill, and on Monday probably the War Office Vote. There may be some changes, but that is a general indication of the plan I venture to suggest to the House as the most convenient.
§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)Will the Irish Supply on Wednesday be the Queen's College Estimates in accordance with the request made on behalf of the Irish Members?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOUROf course, a full opportunity must be given for the discussion of the Chief Secretary's Vote, but I understand a mode of giving an adequate opportunity of dealing with the Queen's College Vote is still a matter of negotiation through the ordinary channels.
