HC Deb 29 June 1908 vol 191 c379
MR. SUMMERBELL (Sunderland)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister if he can state when the Clothing Vote of the Army Estimates will be taken; and whether an opportunity will be afforded for the discussion of the same.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.

As the hon. Member is aware, four days have already been devoted to the Army Estimates, and in view of this fact and of the time demanded and required for this discussion of other Votes, I cannot hold out any prospect of another day being given up to Army Estimates unless there is a general demand from the House.
