HC Deb 04 July 1881 vol 262 c2054

(Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Solicitor General, Mr. Ashley)

SECOND READING.

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Bill be deferred to Monday next."—(Lord Richard Grosvenor.)

MR. R. N. FOWLER

asked the noble Lord (Lord Richard Grosvenor) if there was any use in putting down the Bill for that day? The Land Law (Ireland) Bill would still occupy the time, and it would be convenient to Members interested in the Bankruptcy Bill to know when it really would come on.

LORD RICHARD GROSVENOR

said, due Notice would be given before the Bill was really brought on; but at present it was impossible to say exactly when the Committee on the Land Law (Ireland) Bill would finish.

MR. GORST

said, there was some convenience also in putting the Bill down for Monday, as perhaps by that time the Government might decide to withdraw the Bill.

Motion agreed to.

Second Reading deferred till Monday next.

House adjourned at One o'clock.
