§ MR. PLIMSOLLasked the First Lord of Treasury, Whether, seeing that the Merchant Shipping Acts Amendment Bill deals with questions involving human life, he can give the House an assurance that time will be secured by the Government to discuss and pass the Bill this Session?
§ MR. DISRAELI, in reply, said, that it was the intention of the Government to use their utmost endeavours to pass all the Bills which they had introduced and which had received the acceptance of the House by being read a second time. The Merchant Shipping Acts Amendment Bill was in that category, and he need hardly assure the hon. Gentleman that it was his fervent hope it would be passed in the present Session.
