MR. DONALD CRAWFORD) (Lanark, N.E.

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can say on what day the Second Reading of the Employers' Liability Bill will be taken?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

I am not ye tin a position to name a day.

MR. D. CRAWFORD

Will it be taken next week?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

I am afraid not.

MR. FENWICK (Northumberland, Wansbeck)

Considering the importance of the Bill, and the interest taken in it by the working classes, will the right hon. Gentleman undertake that the Bill will be brought on at a time when it will receive adequate discussion?

*MR. W. H. SMITH

Undoubtedly it will be my duty to do so.
