§ Mr. BONAR LAWHas the Prime Minister any statement to make as to the course of business?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week we shall continue the Committee stage of the Welsh Church Bill. On Thursday, the 23rd, we propose to take the Resolution for Allocation of Time for the Franchise Bill. On Friday, the 24th; Monday, the 27th; and Tuesday, the 28th, the House will deal with the Woman Suffrage Amendments to the Franchise Bill. On Monday, the 20th, after 10.30, we hope to take the Market Gardeners Compensation Bill. With regard to business to be taken afterwards and as to the final arrangements for the Session with respect to Government measures, I am still having inquiries made with the object, if possible, of meeting the general convenience, and I hope to make a definite announcement on Monday.
