HC Deb 02 May 1907 vol 173 cc1085-6
MR. A. J. BALFOUR

asked the Prime Minister whether he could give the House any forecast of the course of public business between this and the Whitsuntide holidays.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The business on Monday will be the Resolution which stands in my name for the allocation of time for the consideration of the Army (Territorial Forces) Bill. On Tuesday there will be the introduction of the Irish Council Bill. On Wednesday the Report of the financial resolutions will be concluded, and other Bills will be taken. That concludes next week. On the following Monday the Finance Bill will be the first order, continued on Tuesday. On the Wednesday the Motion for the adjournment will be moved, and on Thursday Supply will be taken.

VISCOUNT TURNOUR (Sussex, Horsham)

asked the right hon. Gentleman if he was aware that, in answer to a Question of his some sixteen days ago, he stated that he hoped to be able to announce in a week when his Resolution concerning the House of Lords would be taken.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The noble Lord must be aware, from his experience of life, that hopes are not always realised.
