HC Deb 22 February 1886 vol 302 cc905-6
MR. NORRIS

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, If he will give such recommendation to the Select Committee on Procedure, as will prevent any Bills of the importance of the Parliamentary Franchise (Extension to Women) Bill being brought on for discussion in this House after midnight?

THE FIEST LORD (Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE)

It is, of course, no part of my duty individually to give recommendations to the Select Committee. But the subject is one which may fairly be considered in that Committee; and I have no doubt the question will be taken notice of by some Members of that Committee with a view of giving it effect.
