HC Deb 15 April 1842 vol 62 c519
Mr. Labouchere

had understood that the Colonial Customs Duties Bill was to come on immediately after the Mutiny Bill, and he did not believe, that the latter would be protracted to so late an hour but that the former might be proceeded with that evening. If, however, the hon. Member for Chippenham intended to bring on some Ordnance estimates, as he had understood would be the case immediately after the Mutiny Bill, it would be hardly possible to enter with advantage on the discussion of the Colonial Customs' Duties Bill. All he wished was to know when the latter would be brought on.

Sir R. Peel

said, he had been under the impression that a vote for the Ordnance was necessary, on account of the public service, but his hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Chippenham did not think that time was so pressing, and therefore that it would not interfere with the Colonial Customs' Duties Bill.
