HC Deb 25 February 1915 vol 70 c401
Lord EDMUND TALBOT

May I ask the Prime Minister what business will be taken next week?

The PRIME MINISTER

On Monday we shall take the Vote of Credit and the Supplementary Vote of Credit, and Ways and Means Committee.

On Tuesday we shall take the Second Reading of the Universities Bill and the Army (Annual) Bill, and the Committee stage of the Defence of the Realm Bill, and of the other Bills on the Paper.

On Wednesday we shall give an opportunity for discussion on the subject of aliens, and thereafter take the Reports of the Votes of Credit and of other Supply, and Ways and Means Resolutions.

On Thursday we shall take the Second Reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill, and the Committee stage of the Army (Annual) Bill.

Mr. LOUGH

Can my right hon. Friend say when the promised discussion on sugar will take place?

The PRIME MINISTER

There will be opportunities on the Vote of Credit and on the Second Reading of the Appropriation Bill.

Mr. LOUGH

Did not my right hon. Friend promise that there would be a special occasion given?

The PRIME MINISTER

No.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether it would be possible on the Vote of Credit to have some procedure whereby the discussion of certain points might be limited and focussed?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think that is a question that ought to be addressed to Mr. Speaker.
