Considered in Committee.

(IN THE COMMITTEE.)

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That for carrying out the provisions of any Act of the present Session to amend the Law relating to Labourers in Ireland it is expedient:—

  1. (a) To authorise the advance out of the Consolidated Fund of any sum necessary to meet any deficiency in the fund of suitors in the Supreme Court of Ireland; and
  2. (b) To increase the limit on the amount which may be advanced by the Irish Land Commission for the provision of cottages and allotments under The Labourers (Ireland) Act, 1906, and in consequence to increase the limit on the sums which may be defrayed out of moneys provided by Parliament for the purpose of payments in respect of those advances."—[Mr. Gulland.]

Mr. CARLILE

I beg to draw attention to the fact that the Prime Minister this afternoon specified the Orders which he proposed to take, and this Order was not among them. The House was pretty full at the time, and I think it was perfectly well understood that certain Orders were to be allowed to go through, namely, Nos. 22 and 24. I do not propose to discuss the Bill, but I would appeal to the hon. Member who is in charge not to force this through, but to carry out the arrangement made by the Prime Minister.

Mr. GULLAND

The Prime Minister mentioned Nos. 22 and 24. It was found that those Orders would not go through very easily, and the alteration was made with the complete approval of the right hon. Gentleman opposite. My right hon. Friend consulted the Chief Opposition Whip, and he was quite agreeable that Nos. 20 and 21, being uncontentious, should be taken instead of Nos. 22 and 24. That is quite understood in all parts of the House.

Mr. CARLILE

After the explanation of" the hon. Member I have no objection at all.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolution to be reported upon Monday-next, 26th June.
