HC Deb 06 July 1916 vol 83 c1796

Considered in Committee, and reported, without Amendment; read the third time, and passed.

The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.

Whereupon Mr. SPEAKER, pursuant to the Order of the House of the 22nd February, proposed the Question, "That this House do now adjourn."

Mr. GULLAND (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)

For the convenience of hon. Members, may I say that on Tuesday, instead of the Committee stage of the Defence of the Realm (Acquisition of Land) Bill, the business will be Supply, and we shall take the Local Government Board Vote.

Mr. KING

May I ask why the Defence of the Realm (Acquisition of Land) Expenses Resolution is not being taken, as promised by the Prime Minister?

Mr. GULLAND

Because the Minister in charge is not here, and I thought perhaps the hon. Member would desire to ask him some questions.
