§ MR. CAUSTON (Southwark, W.)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether the Government intend to persevere in their Wheel Tax proposals; and, if so, when the second reading of the Bill will be moved?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)I understand the natural impatience of the hon. Member with regard to this matter; but I am not in a position to name a day when the Bill will be proceeded with. I will consult with my right hon. Friend (Mr. W. H. Smith), and name the earliest possible day.
§ MR. CAUSTONsaid it was not his own impatience, but the public outside were most anxious for information.
