HC Deb 18 March 1869 vol 194 cc1660-1
MR. LIDDELL

said, he wished to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, The reason of the delay in printing the Valuation of Property Bill; and, whether, by reason of that delay, he will consent to postpone its Second Reading to some more distant day than the 1st of April?

MR. GOSCHEN

replied, that the delay in the printing the Valuation of Property Bill was occasioned by the great pressure of business in the Department. The Bill, however, would be in the hands of Members to morrow, and care would be taken that they should have ample opportunity of considering its provisions before the Second Reading was proposed.
