HC Deb 21 May 1890 vol 344 cc1544-5

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."

DR. TANNER

I object.

MR. T. M. HEALY

I hope my hon. Friend will withdraw his objection. The Bill applies to the erection of dwellings for the working classes in Dublin as well as in London.

DR. TANNER

It is not that I object to the Bill. I think if Irish Members desire to bring in Bills it is a great deal better that they should bring them in themselves than trust to a Tory Member.

MR. SEXTON

If Irish Members were alone to back their Bills, without the co-operation of Members of other Parties, their chance of passing them would not be so good. If the Bill is not passed Dublin and other parts of Ireland will suffer.

DR. TANNER

I withdraw my objection.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill committed for to-morrow.
