HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 c1213
Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I beg to ask the Prime Minister as to the course of business next week.

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we shall take the Budget Resolutions, and I propose on those days to ask the House to suspend the Eleven o'clock rule. The Resolutions to be taken in Committee of Ways and Means as regards the first three will be in the following order, namely:—

  • Excise liquor licences,
  • Additional customs on beer, and
Duty in respect of intoxicating liquors supplied in clubs. After those:—
  • Land values duties,
  • Income tax,
  • Death duties,
  • Stamps, and a
General Resolution regarding Amendment of the Law.

I do not wish at this moment to commit myself definitely as to the order after the first three.

On Thursday, in Committee of Supply, I propose to take, first, Irish Supply. I cannot specify the particular Vote; probably it will be the Vote relating to the Local Government Board (Ireland).
