HC Deb 18 May 1908 vol 188 c1669
SIR F. CHANNING

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether arrangements can be made in future to put down for each allotted day in Supply a sufficient number of important Votes for discussion to insure that the whole of each allotted day shall be occupied, and a larger number of Votes in Supply passed in the ordinary way after discussion instead of under the Closure rule at the end of the session.

MR. ASQUITH

A sufficient number of Votes are put on the Order Paper for each allotted day in Supply to occupy the time of the House, in the ordinary course, until eleven o'clock, though it sometimes happens by arrangement that certain of those Votes which are down for a particular day are postponed.
