HC Deb 07 November 1911 vol 30 cc1475-6
Mr. HUNT

asked the Prime Minister whether he could now state when the day would be given for the general discussion on the Army promised last Session on behalf of the Government?

The PRIME MINISTER

There were two extra days, in addition to the allotted days on Supply. When this additional time was given I understand that the Opposition made no request for any further discussion on the Army.

Mr. HUNT

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Chief Whip gave me a distinct undertaking that we should have another day for the general discussion of the Army?

Lord BALCARRES

Does the Patronage Secretary to the Treasury think it fair to have answered that question until I had had an opportunity of talking to my hon. Friend?
