§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN (Stirling Burghs)asked what business would be taken on Wednesday.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI propose to take the Committee stage of the Agricultural Rating Bill, and I hope to take the Budget on Monday.
§ MR. CROOKS (Woolwich)When will the Second Reading of the Unemployed Bill be taken? We are anxiously waiting for it.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am anxious to proceed with it, but the hon. Member will understand that there are other measures which must be taken this week and next week.
§ MR. BELLIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Trades Disputes Bill passed through Committee today? Will he give facilities to pass it through the House?
MR. GIBSON BOWLESDoes the right hon. Gentleman intend to proceed with the Motion which stands in his name dealing with adjournments at Easter or Whitsuntide, aid when does he propose to take the debate?
MR. A.J.BALFOURIt is a Motion which in the present condition of public business I see no opportunity of dealing with, except it is passed as an uncontentious proposal after 12 o'clock. It will not be proceeded with today.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI will consider that.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANWhat Supply will be taken on Thursday? I am aware that the Treasury Vote dealing with the Committee of Defence is the first order, but supposing this does not occupy the whole night, what will follow?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURMy right hon. friend (Sir A. Acland-Hood) will endeavour to make arrangements with the right hon. Gentleman and his friends as to what is most convenient to put down as the second subject on Thursday.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIf the Government are fortunate enough to get the Committee stage of the Agricultural Eating Bill on Wednesday in reasonable time, there are one or two Admiralty Hills which the Department is anxious to 1148 see passed on general grounds. I think that these Bills will be second.
MR. GIBSON BOWLESNot the Naval Prize Bill, I hope. I have an Amendment to that.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURNo, Sir.
