HC Deb 02 May 1905 vol 145 cc686-7
MR. A. J. BALFOUR

As I am on the subject of business may I state that I propose to go on with the Report of the Budget Resolutions on Wednesday, and on Thursday Class I. of Supply, Civil Services, not including the Irish Votes, will be taken. On Monday I think we ought to take the vote of censure to be proposed by the right hon. Gentleman opposite. On Thursday week I hope to take the Vote in Supply dealing with the Defence Committee.

Sir H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

With regard to the notice of Motion which I gave touching the Administration of Ireland I see no objection on my part to taking it next Monday, but there are others interested and I cannot speak for them.

MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

Is the right hon. Gentlemen satisfied that the right hon. Member for Dover will be able to be present on Monday. As he is the person most directly concerned he certainly ought to be present.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I hope so, but if my right hon. friend's health prevents I grant that there may be a reason for postponing the vote of censure.

MR. KEIRHARDIE (Merthyr Tydvil)

Has the right hon. Gentleman yet fixed a date for the Second Reading of the Unemployed Bill?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir.
