HC Deb 08 April 1914 vol 60 c1963
Lord EDMUND TALBOT

Can the right hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary announce the order in which it is proposed to take the business on Tuesday and Wednesday next, and also can he state the Supply to be taken on Thursday?

Mr. McKENNA

On Tuesday, the first Order will be the Committee stage of the East Africa Loan Bill. Then will follow the Second Reading of the Criminal Justice Administration Bill, the Report stage of the Elementary Education (Defective and Epileptic) Children's Bill, the resumed Debate on the Inebriates Bill, the Second Reading of the Merchant Shipping Bill, the Second Reading of the British Nationality Bill, and the Second Reading of the Direct Representation on the General Medical Council Bill. Any of these that are not concluded on Tuesday will be resumed on Wednesday.

On Thursday, we shall take Supply. The Votes put down are Irish Local Government Board and the Office of Woods and Forests.

Mr. BOOTH

What will the right hon. Gentleman do with those Orders that are not finished on Wednesday?

Mr. McKENNA

Take them at some later date.

Mr. WORTHINGTON EVANS

Can the right hon. Gentleman give the exact date when the Chancellor of the Exchequer will make his Budget Statement?

Mr. McKENNA

I regret very much I am not in a position yet to name the day. The voice of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has not yet definitely recovered, and I could not with safety state a day.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any date for Vote 8 of the Navy Estimates?

Mr. McKENNA

Oh, no, it is much too early.

Mr. WATT

Will the Eleven o'clock Rule be suspended on Tuesday?
