Mr. BALFOURMay I ask the Prime Minister two questions. One is in relation to the question of procedure to-night. He has a motion on the paper suspending the 11 o'clock rule. Does he contemplate a long sitting? The second question which I wish to ask relates not to to-day, but to next Thursday: What Supply does he propose to take next Thursday? I think some arrangement has been come to that has not yet been made public.
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is not intended to have a long sitting to-night. The suspension of the 11 o'clock rule is merely for general convenience. With regard to Thursday, I understand it is the desire of the right hon. Gentleman to have the Vote for the Board of Agriculture put down.
§ Mr. JOHN REDMONDHow far does the right hon. Gentleman propose to go tonight? Does he propose to end the general discussion to-night?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo.
