HC Deb 16 March 1904 vol 131 cc1266-7
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

I beg to ask what will be the forthcoming business of the House, and whether the right hon. Gentleman can give any indication in regard to the coming and passing of the Easter Holidays.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

It was a cheering element in the right hon. Gentleman's Question which gave an indication that there are holidays to come, but I am afraid I cannot give him any dates. I find that before the holidays begin I am always pressed to make them long, I and that after they are over I am always abused unless I have made them short. As to business, to-morrow I propose to take the Reports of the Army and Navy Votes, on Monday the Report of the Supplementary Estimates, and as soon as those are concluded we shall, of course, proceed with the stages of the Consolidated Fund Bill.
