Major O'NEILL

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether it is intended to take the Second Reading of the Irish Land Bill this Session?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No; it is quite impossible to take it this Session.

Mr MacCALLUM SCOTT

Is it intended to take the Teinds Bill this Session?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I think not.

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Having regard to the question of finance, is it proposed to take the Committee stage of the Roads Bill on the floor of the House?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I did not undertake to take it on the floor of the House. It will be sent upstairs.

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Is it not a fact that it was proposed to take it on the floor of the House?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It may be that it is so. I cannot give an answer.

General Sir IVOR PHILIPPS

Is it not an Amendment of the Finance Act of 1920?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Very likely.
