HC Deb 28 May 1868 vol 192 c956
MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, What has prevented the promised early introduction of the Turnpike Continuance Bill, and when that Bill will be laid upon the table of the House?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY

, in reply, said, he was not prepared to admit that anything had prevented the early introduction of the Bill, because his hon. Friend had given Notice of his intention to bring it in to-morrow night, and that would be very early indeed. With respect to the course of proceeding, it would be this: —A very large number of cases would be included in the Schedule of the Bill for 1869, and he proposed to give Notice that a Select Committee be appointed early next Session, so that the parties concerned might have an opportunity of laying before it any representations they had to make.
