HC Deb 17 April 1882 vol 268 cc801-2
MR. SCLATER-BOOTH

, who had given Notice of his intention to call attention to damage recently caused by fires originating on the Government property in Woolmer Forest, and to move a Resolution thereon, said, that he would not then detain the House by going into the subject. The fires were said to be caused by the keepers in charge of the forest setting fire to the heather for the better preservation of the game. He had to complain, however, that the Papers relating to the subject, which had been moved for seven or eight weeks ago, had not yet been placed in the hands of Members.

MR. CHILDERS

said, he must apologize for not having hurried on the printing of the Papers in question; but he had no idea that there was any particular hurry for them, and the demands on the printer were very heavy. Instructions, however, should at once be given that they should be taken in hand promptly.

Main Question, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair," put, and agreed to.
