HC Deb 29 March 1911 vol 23 cc1337-8
Mr. BALFOUR

In continuation of the brief conversation yesterday at Question Time about the business for to-morrow night, could the right hon. Gentleman now tell us what is the proposal of the Government?

The PRIME MINISTER

In view of the undertaking given not to do anything but financial business before 31st March, we do not propose to proceed with any Bills to-morrow evening; but, after the proceedings on the Revenue Bill are concluded at 8 o'clock, to take the Report on the Army and Navy Votes.

On Friday, we propose to take the Second Reading of the Shops Bill.

Mr. H. W. FORSTER

May I ask whether the Reports of the Votes would be taken in the order indicated by the Prime Minister's answer—that is, the Army Vote first?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes; unless the hon. Gentleman objects.
