§ MR. MORLEYasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, considering the great importance of the Bankruptcy Bill introduced by the Government, he will fix the Second Reading as the first Order on such day as will afford full opportunity for its discussion? The hon. Gentleman pointed out that the Bill was a very important one; that it repealed all existing enactments on the subject; and that, while it had been twice discussed in the House of Lords, it had never been discussed in this House at all.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERWe are very sensible of the importance of the Bankruptcy Bill, and we are anxious to obtain for it a full discussion. But I cannot make a promise in the form in which the hon. Member asks, undertaking to place the Bill as a first Order on any particular day, because it is very difficult, with all the Business there is, to make a promise for every Bill. But we will certainly endeavour to obtain ample opportunity for a fair discussion of this Bill.
