HC Deb 17 May 1904 vol 135 cc46-7
SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)

Can the right hon. Gentleman say anything as to the business which will be taken when the House resumes?

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY {Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)

The Revenue Votes 1 and 2 will be taken on Tuesday when the House meets after the Whitsuntide holidays. The House may discuss on Wednesday the Anglo-French Agreement on the Second Reading of the Bill which deals with that part of the subject. Supply will be taken on Thursday, and on Friday some of the smaller Bills will be taken.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis

Shall we be able to discuss the whole Anglo-French Agreement on a Bill which deals with only part of it?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The Bill can only deal with a part of the Agreement, but I understand that there will be no difficulty in taking on that part, which is an integral part, and in that sense the part which involves the whole, a discussion in its broader aspect.

SIR WALTER FOSTER (Derbyshire, Ilkeston)

Will the right hon. Gentleman define the smaller Bills for Friday?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

My hon.friend the Member for the Wellington Division of Somerset gives me a specimen—Penal Servitude and Dogs.
