HC Deb 06 March 1911 vol 22 c834
Mr. BALFOUR

Perhaps the Prime Minister would now tell us the arrangement of business on Friday next, and may I also ask when we will have the print of the Vote on Account. I understand it is not yet in the Vote Office, and as it comes on on Wednesday it is rather unfortunate that we should not have it in our hands?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will answer to-morrow about Friday. With regard to the Vote on Account, I am told it is ready now, but I will inquire about it.

Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will tell us whether the Vote on Account will be for the usual period this year, or whether it contains any surprise like the first Vote on Account last year?

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not know what the right hon. Gentleman means by "the usual period." The period varies from Session to Session. My recollection is that it will be for a period of three months.
