§ Sir D. MACLEANMay I ask the Leader of the House what is to be the business next week?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWOn Monday we propose to take the Lords Amendments to the Kent Bill, the Public Health (Ireland) Bill, and the Local Government (Ireland) Bill, Second Reading.
On Tuesday, the business will be the Report stage of the Naval, Military, and Air Forces Bill.
As to Wednesday, I should like to state the business next Monday—not now.
On Thursday we propose to give an Allotted Day for the discussion of any subject that may be arranged in the usual way.
§ Mr. G. TERRELLWhen will the Budget be introduced?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI cannot say. I hope in future that question will be addressed to my right hon. Friend.
§ Captain ORMSBY-GOREWhen is the Housing Bill likely to be taken?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWWe should have been glad to take it next week, but thought the House would prefer a little longer interval, so it will be taken the week after next.
§ Mr. MARRIOTTDoes the right hon. Gentleman propose to take the Financial Resolution for the Ministry of Ways and Communications Bill to-night?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWWe hope so.
Mr. TYSON WILSONHas the right hon. Gentleman any statement to make as to the findings of the Coal Commission?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe Reports of the Coal Commission have been signed and sent to His Majesty. Copies were given to me a very short time before I came down to the House. I have summoned a meeting of the Cabinet to deal with them, and I hope it maybe possible to make some statement during the sitting to-day, although I hardly expect that can be until a late hour—not before nine o'clock.
§ Mr. RAFFANWill copies be available for Members?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have inquired as to that. They will be available in the Vote office.
§ Mr. R. McNEILLIs there only one Report?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI said "Reports." There are three.
