HC Deb 06 August 1884 vol 292 c4

Moved for— Returns of Private Bills, Sittings of the House, Public Bills, Divisions of the House, and Public Petitions."—(Sir Charles Forster.)

MR. T. P. O'CONNOR

, with reference to the Return of Sittings of the House, asked the hon. Baronet, whether he would object to add to his Motion a few words which would enable the House to make a comparison between the hours during which the House of Commons sat and the hours during which other Legislatures sat?

SIR CHARLES FORSTER

said, he did not think that would be possible.

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

said, the Returns now moved for were prepared by the officers of the House. The information desired by the hon. Member would have to be given in a separate Return, to obtain which an Address to the Crown must be moved.

Motion agreed to.

Returns ordered.
