HC Deb 17 July 1863 vol 172 cc948-9
SIR JOHN TRELAWNY

said, that a Resolution providing a Guarantee for a Loan to New Zealand had been agreed to very late last night, and he trusted that the Report would not be brought up later than ten o'clock that evening, in order that hon. Members might have a fair opportunity of discussing it.

MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE

said, that when he introduced the Bill founded on the Resolution, he would fix the second reading for such a period as would enable hon. Members to discuss the question fully.

SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBY

asked, whether the Government would object to produce any Papers which they had in regard to the New Zealand Guarantee, for the information of Members.

MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE

said, that the information required to justify the measure of the Government lay within a very narrow compass, and there was no need for the production of Papers. He would make a statement on a future stage of the measure, which he hoped would satisfy the hon. Gentleman.
