§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, he would take the opportunity of explaining that, although he stated yesterday that he hoped to be able to read that Bill for the third time that evening, he now found that to take the two stages at one sitting could not be done without somewhat of a strain on the Rules of the House respecting Money Bills and he should be sorry to ask the House to do anything unusual. He he must, therefore, propose that the House should sit at 12 o'clock to-morrow for the purpose of reading the Bill a third time and sending it up to the House of Lords, which would also be sitting. The Royal Assent would then be given to the Bill by Commission, and it would pass before the holidays. He might also take that opportunity of saying that with reference to Tuesday, he thought the most convenient plan, and that which seemed to commend itself most to hon. Members, was that the House should meet at 2 o'clock, and sit, if necessary, till 7. If the Business were got through sooner than that, he should propose to move the Adjournment, unless there was a wish that there should be an Evening Sitting. He did not think there would be an Evening Sitting, and he proposed that as soon as the Business of the Morning Sitting 382 was got through to move that the House do adjourn, having in the earlier part of the day moved that on its rising it should adjourn for the Easter holidays.
Bill, as amended, considered; to be read the third time To-morrow.
