HC Deb 03 May 1867 vol 186 c1939
MR. W. E. FORSTER

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will, before proceeding with the consideration of the 3rd Clause of the Representation of the People Bill in Committee, lay upon the table of the House the Amendment which he had promised to introduce, in order to remove the ambiguity which he acknowledged to exist in the Clause as at present worded? He would also beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman, if he has any objection to stating at once the nature of the intended Amendment?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER
