HC Deb 06 April 1909 vol 3 c925
Mr. COCHRANE

I beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Prime Minister if he can give the House any information regarding the business for the Wednesday and Thursday after Easter; if he can inform the House whether the House will sit at 12 o'clock to-morrow; and if he can give any information as to the date of the introduction of the Budget?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Government propose on Wednesday, the 21st inst., to put down as first Order the introduction of the Welsh Disestablishment Bill. On the 22nd a Motion will be made that Mr. Speaker do leave the chair, and that the House go into Committee of Supply on the Civil Service Estimates. As a result of general agreement between various parties in the House a Motion will be moved to-night, before the House rises, that this House will meet to-morrow at 12 o'clock. I gather that there is no intention in any quarter of the House that the sitting to-morrow should be prolonged. I cannot make any statement at present about the date of the introduction of the Budget.

Mr. W. C. STEADMAN

Has the right hon. Gentleman any indication as to when the Home Office Vote will be taken?

The PRIME MINISTER

We will make that a matter of arrangement after Easter.

Mr. REES

When will Committee on the Indian Councils Bill be taken?

The PRIME MINISTER

We shall take it on the first Monday after Easter, the 19th.
