§ MR. T. HARROP SIDEBOTTOM (Stalybridge)asked the First Lord of the Treasury, "Whether he can hold out any hope that the Government will consider the state of the law as to limited liability during the Recess, and introduce a Bill to amend it early next Session, remembering the satisfactory assurances given by the Prime Minister to an influential deputation so far back as the 28th January last, and the strong opinion entertained in the manufacturing districts that the law ought to be amended as soon as possible?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)The state of the law as regards limited liability will certainly receive the earnest 1175 consideration of Her Majesty's Government during the Recess, with a view to early legislation next Session.
