HC Deb 18 May 1866 vol 183 c1150
LORD JOHN MANNERS

said, he wished to repeat the question which he had asked on the previous evening as to what day was fixed for the second reading of the Bill for the Abolition of Compulsory Church Rates?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, in reply, that after what had taken place on the previous night it would be very difficult to find a Government day, the more so as his noble Friend had given notice of a Motion involving the whole principle of the Bill. Under those circumstances he had placed it for Wednesday, the 30th of May, when he hoped they would be able to secure for it a full discussion.
