HC Deb 18 May 1908 vol 188 c1668
MR. LONSDALE

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he will consult the wishes of the Irish Unionist Members in regard to the Votes to be considered upon one of the three allotted days allocated to Irish Supply.

MR. ASQUITH

I should like before giving a definite Answer to this Question to have a full opportunity of considering the precedents.

MR. LONSDALE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware it has been the invariable practice since the Supply Rule was established to acknowledge some priority of claim on the part of the Opposition to select the Vote to be discussed?

MR. ASQUITH

I am aware of that I am considering the matter, if the hon. Member will only give me time.
