§ Considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§ [Mr. Emmott (Oldham), in the Chair.]
§ Clause 1:—
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."
§ SIR F. BANBURYrose to move the omission of Clause I. on the ground that it appropriated £439,000, which ought to go to the reduction of Debt instead of going to the reduction of the Army Estimates.
* THE CHAIRMANThe hon. Baronet cannot discuss that point, because it is a matter which has already been decided by the House.
§ MR. WILLIAM RUTHERFORD (Liverpool, West Derby)asked what was 777 the object in putting the Question if it could not be discussed?
* THE CHAIRMANI put the Question "That Clause 1 stand part of the Bill," in the ordinary way, because there were no Amendments.
§ MR. WILLIAM RUTHERFORDYes, after having decided that it could not be discussed.
§ Question put.
§ The Committee divided:—Ayes, 250, Noes 51. (Division List No. 45.)
