§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)Can the right hon. Gentleman say what will be the course of business this week?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURTo-morrow and Wednesday I hope to finish the Report of the Supplementary Estimates, and to pass Committee and Report stages of the Ways and Means Resolution, on which the further stages of the Consolidated Fund Bill are founded. It will be necessary to pass the Committee and Report? stages of the Telegraph Money Bill. Unless they are passed, there will be serious discharges of working men, and great inconvenience and considerable 252 suffering also. On Thursday I hope to be able to take the Second Reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill.
