§ MR. HARMOOD-BANNERI beg to ask the Prime Minister if it is the intention of the Government to give any extra days for discussion in Supply over and above the three days which still remain, in view of the restricted occasions which the House has enjoyed up to the present time for debate in Supply.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANNo, Sir, I am afraid this cannot be done. The ordinary opportunities will have been given. I may mention with regard to a 548 somewhat cognate subject, namely the Report of the Public Accounts Committee, that although the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not amount to a pledge it involved an acknowledgment of expediency; and an opportunity for the discussion of the Report will be given, but I am afraid it will be in the expiring hours of the session.
