§ Mr. BONAR LAWMay I ask the Prime Minister what business he proposes to take next week, and also may I call his attention to the fact that the terms of the Financial Resolution to be taken to-morrow are not upon the Paper?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, the Irish Land Purchase Bill will be introduced, and, by arrangement, the Report of the Money Resolution on the Insurance Bill will be taken.

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we shall take Supply. With regard to the Money Resolution to be taken to-morrow the right hon. Gentleman knows it has never been the custom to give notice of these Resolutions.
