§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday there will be a discussion on expenditure on armaments on the Motion of my hon. Friend the Member for Falkirk Burghs (Mr. Murray Macdonald), and in order that there may be ample opportunity for Debate, I propose to ask the House to suspend the Eleven o'clock rule.
On Tuesday, we shall move the Speaker out of the Chair on Army Estimates.
On Wednesday, we shall take Army Votes A and I.
On Thursday, we shall move the Speaker out of the chair on Navy Votes.
Mr. BALFOURI see no provision, so far, in that programme dealing with the Revenue Bill down for to-night. When does the right hon. Gentleman propose to go on with it after to-night?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNot next week. The right hon. Gentleman only asked me about next week.
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, of course, in view of the very large number of amendments and new clauses, but I hope the Committee will be prepared to sit a little late; but there is no idea of finishing the Committee stage to-night.
Ordered, "That the Proceedings on the Adjourned Debate on Nomination of Select Committee [1st March] relating to Local Government Acts, 1888 and 1894, and Local Government (Scotland) Acts, 1889 and 1894, and on the Revenue Bill, have precedence this day of the Business of Supply."—[The Prime Minister.]
