HC Deb 30 March 1885 vol 296 c968
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, considering the uneasiness in the Highlands, and the fear of regrettable incidents, if he cannot bring in a Bill, he will state the general lines on which the Government propose to legislate?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT,

in reply, said, that such a course as that contemplated by the hon. Member was not feasible. There was no Parliamentary method of making known the contents of a Bill before its introduction.
