HC Deb 17 June 1907 vol 176 c171
MR. HAROLD COX

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the fact that on Thursday the 6th June the House did not go into Committee on the Indian Estimates; and on what day he proposes to ask the House to carry out the practice which has been followed without intermission for many years by both political Parties.

* MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)

I beg also to ask the Prime Minister when the adjourned debate on the Indian Budget will be taken.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I am aware that the House did not go into Committee on the Indian Estimates, but I cannot say as yet when an opportunity will be provided for carrying out the practice which my hon. friend reminds me has been followed for many years. An opportunity will be found for complying with this formality.

* MR. REES

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that only six private Members and only three Members of the Indian services were able to take part in the debate?
