MR. GLADSTONESir, in conformity with the Notice which I gave several days ago, I wish to ask Her Majesty's Government What course they propose to take on the Second Reading of the Established Church (Ireland) Bill, which stands for Friday, the 22nd instant?
§ MR. DISRAELISir, as we look upon this Bill as the first step towards the disestablishment of the Church, we intend to give it the greatest opposition we can.
