HC Deb 02 August 1870 vol 203 cc1463-4
MR. NEWDEGATE

asked the First Lord of the Treasury when this Bill would be taken again. The Report of Amendments was brought on at 35 minutes past 2 o'clock that morning, the right hon. Gentleman apparently desiring that no information should reach the public with regard to the measure and that the debates upon it should not be reported. He wished to know whether a similar arrangement was contemplated by the right hon. Gentleman for that evening?

MR. GLADSTONE

said, he desired that the Bill should come on as early as possible, and it was the intention of the Government to proceed with it that evening.

MR. NEWDEGATE

At what time?

MR. GLADSTONE

At any hour.
