HC Deb 15 July 1859 vol 154 cc1295-6
SIR FITZROY KELLY

said, he rose to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is his intention to propose to Parliament during the present Session the Bankruptcy Bill, which was read a second time, and intended to be referred to a Select Committee, in the last Session of the late Parliament.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL

said, that his time would be too much occupied with the duties of his present office to enable him to devote any time to the Bankruptcy Bill; but the measure was in the hands of his hon. and learned Friend the Attorney General.
