HC Deb 09 July 1867 vol 188 c1263
MR. WHALLEY

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, in his opinion, the prospect of passing the Bill for amending the Representation would not be greatly increased if the provisions relating to the Re-distribution of Seats were deferred to the next Session, whereby also the further advantage would be secured of the discussion of such provisions after the settlement of boundaries?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

In answer to the Question of the hon. Gentleman, I would say that I have no wish to increase the prospect of passing the Bill for the Representation of the People this Session. I am perfectly satisfied with that prospect.
