HC Deb 28 February 1867 vol 185 c1203

Order for Committee to consider the Act 2 & 3 Will. IV. c. 45, read.

MR. HIBBERT

asked, whether it was the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring forward his Reform Bill on Thursday next?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

I stated on Tuesday that at the earliest moment I would state to the House the day on which I hoped to be able to bring forward the Reform Bill; and at that time I thought it was not improbable that on Thursday next it might be brought forward. I was not certain as to the day, and I said it was then impossible to bind myself to any particular day, but that I would give fair notice to the House; and I will give it fair notice.

Order discharged.
