HC Deb 07 July 1908 vol 191 c1480
MR. KEIR HARDIE

asked on what day the Indian Budget would be taken.

MR. ASQUITH

I think probably on the 22nd, but I cannot say definitely.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR (City of London)

asked what was the business for Friday.

MR. ASQUITH

I have already stated that we propose to take on Friday the usual annual Motion for suspension of the Eleven o'clock rule for the remainder of this part of the session. This will afford me an opportunity of making a more general statement as to the further course of business. After that is over, we intend, if necessary—but I hope some agreement may be arrived at in the interval which will make it unnecessary—to propose a Procedure Resolution for dealing with the remaining stages of the Irish Universities Bill.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Should that happy augury prove to be well founded, what will be the second Order?

MR. ASQUITH

Some of the smaller Bills. I will tell the right hon. Gentleman to-morrow.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

When is it proposed to take the Finance Bill?

MR. ASQUITH

I would rather not say at present when the remaining stages of the Finance Bill will be taken. I will answer on Thursday or the beginning of next week.
