§ MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs)said that many hon. Members had remained in the belief that the Army Annual Bill was to be taken that evening.

§ MR. McKENNA (Monmouthshire, N.)said that there was a general understanding that the Army Annual Bill would be taken that night, and it was on that ground that arrangements had been made to discuss it. He did not suggest for a moment that the right hon. Gentleman had done anything to defeat those on that side of the House in their arrangements.
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Sir A. ACLAND-HOOD, Somersetshire, Wellington)said that as the Divisions on the Chancellor's Resolution went on till twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, and as it was agreed that the debate on the Army Annual Bill would go on for a considerable time, he thought it would be more convenient to take it on Wednesday at twelve midnight.
