HC Deb 22 March 1904 vol 132 cc404-5
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

May I ask if, in view of a desire to discuss the Royal Palaces Vote, and especially the expenditure upon Osborne, it can be submitted at an early date.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I will keep the request in view, but it is inconvenient to give pledges long beforehand as to the order in which Votes shall be taken. I desire to consult the convenience of the House, and especially the natural critics of the Government, anions whom I suppose my Hon. friend may justly rank himself.
