§ In reply to Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH,
§ MR. AYRTONsaid, it was proposed to put this Bill down for Monday instead of Thursday, but, if it should be found that it would be inconvenient to hon. 557 Members to discuss it on that day, the Government would be prepared to consider any application on the subject. It was very desirable, however, that the House should proceed with the second reading as soon as possible.
