§ "5. That a. sum, not exceeding £100,000, be granted to His Majesty, to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of 344 March, 1922, for Grants in respect of Compensation for suffering and damage by Enemy Action."
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution."
§ Sir F. BANBURYThe rapid reading of these Votes makes them somewhat difficult to follow. I understand the House was going to adjourn at 7, and it is within a few minutes of that time now. Some of these Votes need discussion, and I would suggest that if we are going to adjourn that we should adjourn now.
§ Colonel LESLIE WILSON (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)It is true that it was proposed that the House should adjourn at 7 to-night. An understanding was arrived at on both sides of the House that we should do so, but that we should take the Report stage of the first six of these Votes. That will only take us to Class VII., Vote 3. I would ask for the remaining three of these Votes, which have not yet passed the Report stage. All have been fully discussed before, and they do not mean any new money from the State. Therefore, I hope the House will be good enough to give us these three remaining Votes.
§ Fourth and Fifth Resolutions to be considered To-morrow.
§ The remaining Orders were read and postponed.
