HC Deb 30 April 1866 vol 183 c162
MR. LAYARD

said, he would beg to ask his hon. Friend the Member for Stockport, who had a Notice on the Paper relating to Reciprocity Treaties, to have the goodness to postpone it, and give notice of the terms of the Resolution he proposed.

MR. WATKIN

, in reply, said, his complaint was that a treaty involving a trade of £10,000,000 sterling and certain fishery and navigation rights had been allowed to terminate without a single scrap of information being laid before the House. He should be very sorry, however, although his notice had been on the Paper for several weeks, to give any inconvenience to the hon. Gentleman. He would, therefore, postpone it for the present, and place on the Paper a copy of the Resolution he propose to move, fixing another day when a discussion could take place on the subject.
