§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINCan the Patronage Secretary to the Treasury make any statement as to the course of Public Business next week?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Joseph Pease)I am not in a position to-day to indicate what will be the business for next week. Of course, to-morrow the Prime Minister will make the usual statement. I understand the Opposition rather press that on each Wednesday for the rest of the Session the business for the following week shall be announced, and I will endeavour, if the Prime Minister concurs, to carry out that arrangement.
§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINIs it proposed to take any business after the discussion on the Finance Bill is concluded this evening?
§ Mr. J. PEASENo; unless I can arrange with the Opposition for an Order of a somewhat uncontentious character.
§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINAre all the Amendments which the Government intend to propose in regard to the licensing provisions of the Finance Bid upon the Paper, or are there any of which we are not officially notified?
